Known for his keen business leadership, Kelleher has spent 37
years in the relocation industry—the past 18 of them at the helm of
Cartus. His ability to spot key industry trends and then quickly
capitalize on them has not only helped position Cartus as a
recognized industry leader, but has also helped to raise the bar
for the entire relocation industry. He also has personally given
back to his community, his employees, and others in need through a
variety of public and non-profit initiatives.
Among his numerous professional accomplishments, Kelleher has
been instrumental in helping drive innovation in the relocation
industry in a number of areas, including:
- Service Excellence: service standards and partnership
- Supplier Diversity: support of minority- and women-owned
businesses
- Global Citizenship: inclusion, charitable giving,
sustainability
- Ethics: highest standards of ethical business practices
- Innovation: new technologies, products, and markets
- Real Estate Leadership: market expertise
"It is incredibly humbling to be honored by one's peers, and I
have truly been blessed to work in such a great industry, to be
surrounded by world-class executives, and to work with some of the
most forward-thinking clients in the world," Kelleher
said.
Recognizing the need to support and guide relocating employees
who are moving on their own, Kelleher pioneered an entirely new
market with the establishment of Cartus' Affinity program in 1989.
As a result of this program, which packages relocation-related
services for members of many national groups, Cartus has helped
nearly 550,000 families buy or sell homes and has paid more than
$479 million in cash-back incentives
to members of its Affinity clients since the program's inception in
1989.
As part of the EMMA awards program, Cartus was also nominated
for "Thought Leadership – Best Survey of the Year"; "Best
Partnership" (in conjunction with International Toyota); and
Relocation Management Company of the Year.
The EMMA awards are independently judged by a panel of some of
the most experienced and respected global mobility professionals
from various industries and leading companies.
