Tech Advisory Services

Jamie Jackson serves as the Managing Director for the GTA Office Practice Group.  He has been helping to grow the business since September 2020.  

Prior to joining Colliers, he was the Director of the Financial Services practice at Iron Mountain, where he had increasingly senior sales and sales management roles in the financial services and technology sectors.

He also took a 10 year detour into running an international marketing agency, ending up as the CEO until the entire business was sold and he returned to his selling roots in financial services.

Following a succesful stint at Xerox, Scott joined Colliers in 2009 and has developed a strong knowledge base of the Greater Toronto Area office markets. Specializing in office leasing with a focus on tenant representation, Scott's forte is to assist clients in the renewal and relocation of their office space. Scott's personable approach and his attentive desire to deliver upon clients' hot buttons fosters an unparalleled agent-client relationship.​
