I joined  Colliers as a Research consultant in 2020. My main focus is on the office market and partially the retail market. The research team collaborates with other business lines by providing data and data-analyses. Another main occupation of the team is the publishing of news articles on different topics within the field of real estate. Next to this, I develop dashboards and tools to translate data into market knowledge and visualizations.

Before joining Colliers, I worked for a.s.r. real estate as a researcher. 

In december 2021 I started my career at Colliers to investigate and advice about the latest trends and developments in real estate. Together with the research team I advise internal business lines. Moreover, we regularly publish articles. I am focussing on retail and residential sectors. Topics of vacancy, sustainability and the housing crisis have my interest. 

Prior to joining Colliers, I finished the Master Human Geography with a specialisation in Economic Geography  at Utrecht University. Besides taking part in an exchange program at National Taiwan University, I  also worked at the Amsterdam Economic Board in the form of a graduate internship.

Madeline has been Chief Economist and Head of Research at Colliers since January 2022. Madeline heads the research team that researches the various asset types and trends in the real estate sector.  Important topics are the social relevance of the real estate market, sustainability and the use of data. Developments in the housing market have her special attention.

Before that, Madeline worked as a senior sector economist for the construction and real estate sector at ABN AMRO, where she formulated ABN AMRO's vision for the economic developments in these two sectors over the past 9 years. She did this by writing publications, giving presentations and media appearances. Before ABN AMRO, Madeline worked as an economist and project leader at the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM).
