Colliers International CTO launches Web sites across 51 countries and 14 languages Joshua Fost faces a tremendous coordination challenge as the first CTO of Colliers International USA, an $880-million consortium of 56 independently owned real-estate companies in 51 countries. Example: At the end of 2003, after a two-year campaign led by Fost and Marketing Vice President Karen L. Galvin, Colliers finally launched globally coordinated Web sites, featuring content appearing in 14 languages.On the infrastructure side, he’s coordinated a global directory that integrates the contact information from each company’s e-mail servers, which may be running Exchange, Notes, Groupwise, or even outsourced e-mail applications. “My favorite thing is having a person come to me with a problem and then delivering something that’s faster, cheaper, and easier to use than they ever imagined,” Fost says.
