Columbia Welcomes New Leadership at Colliers | South Carolina

Columbia, South Carolina is buzzing with excitement following the recent transition in leadership at Colliers | South Carolina. On January 6, David M. Feild took the reins as the new Chief Executive Officer, stepping into the shoes of John W. Folsom, who held the position for a remarkable 31 years. Folsom isn’t going far though; he will now act as the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, providing valuable insights and maintaining important client relationships.

A New Chapter Begins

Feild, who has been part of the Colliers team since his appointment as President in 2024, brings over 25 years of extensive experience in the commercial real estate sector. He has a notable track record that includes serving as the Market Leader for the Greenville-Spartanburg offices for 11 years. His deep-rooted commitment to delivering exceptional client service and making investments in local communities marks him as a perfect fit for this essential role.

During his time, the Greenville-Spartanburg market thrived under his leadership, witnessing significant expansion across all service lines, an achievement he aims to replicate while guiding Colliers forward. Feild’s focus on talent development and client satisfaction is set to reshape the firm’s operations and philosophy.

Continuing a Legacy

Colliers International South Carolina, Inc. boasts an impressive legacy that dates back to 1906 when it was founded as The Keenan Company. It started under the leadership of Walter A. Keenan, followed by his son and grandson. With Feild at the helm, the company continues to honor its heritage while looking to the future.

Feild is a proud graduate of Furman University and has been recognized for his community involvement through roles such as board chair of Ten at the Top and a current board member of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce. His dedication to the community aligns perfectly with the company’s mission, which emphasizes not just growing the business but also investing in the community’s well-being.

Solidified Financial Performance

Under Feild’s leadership, Colliers has enjoyed a remarkable period of growth. In 2024 alone, dealings exceeding $859 million in sales and leasing transactions were achieved. The company’s Real Estate Management Services portfolio sets a new record at an impressive 26 million square feet. Project management partner, LCK, also managed projects worth over $1 billion in just that same year.

As for Folsom, his extensive network and decades of experience will still shine as he continues contributing to various community leadership roles, including the Midlands Business Leadership Group and the Columbia Airport Commission. His role in the company is far from over as he will provide the strategic guidance required to keep Colliers thriving in this competitive market.

Looking Ahead

With Feild steering the ship, the focus will be on honoring the company’s 119-year legacy while driving innovative growth. His commitment to exceptional service and community investment promises exciting prospects for clients and stakeholders alike.
