2025 Ones To Watch - Industry Leaders: Magnolia Dow-Moore, Nickerson

Magnolia Dow-Moore
Associate Director of Real Estate PR & Communications
Nickerson

Sharing knowledge and expertise:

I actively share my knowledge and expertise through ongoing collaboration with developer and owner clients, particularly by creating and participating in educational opportunities within various commercial real estate organizations. I focus on practical insights and fostering a deeper understanding of market trends, development strategies, and best practices. This commitment not only helps clients make informed decisions but also contributes to the broader professional community.

Giving back:

Volunteering with leadership development programs has allowed me to support emerging professionals while bringing valuable insights back to my team. Additionally, staying engaged with legislative developments across the region has allowed me to better understand the broader policy landscape and its implications for our clients. Attending events and sharing key takeaways with both colleagues and clients adds an important layer of strategic perspective to our work.

Best advice for new leaders: 

Stay curious, ask questions, and say yes to new opportunities — your next connection may surprise you.
