Professional Expertise

A member of the Downtown Los Angeles office since 2018, Shannon Woodcock is a Managing Director of Workplace Strategy at Savills and actively works with clients across North America. Shannon's role as a client advocate is to provide guidance on workplace planning and promote the client’s business plan and unique way of working. Using data collection and end-user engagements, Shannon specializes in working closely with clients to uncover the needs that are often difficult for the client to identify using internal resources.

Prior to site selection, Shannon works with a client alongside the broker team to determine the square footage requirement and document the often complex components which comprise it. She engages clients to determine the attributes, metrics and measures of success of the future space, and then acts as a liaison for these concepts with selected design firm. In order to do so effectively, she specializes in designing scalable, customized workplace strategy processes for her clients to address business-specific needs. From there, Shannon conducts a current state analysis as well as preliminary and comprehensive programming – each requiring various levels of interaction with the client from headcount analysis to executive visioning. This allows her to develop an innovative, advantageous solution, ready for the implementation by the design firm.

Prior to joining Savills, Shannon was a senior associate and lead strategist at HLW International. Before that, she worked for UBS Wealth Management's real estate and planning team.
