Woodbridge, NJ [May 8, 2026] – Jennifer Harrison, a vice president at NAI DiLeo-Bram & Co. (NAIDB) who has occupied nearly every seat at the commercial real estate “table” – from property manager to client and broker – has received double honors from GlobeSt. and Real Estate Forum for her significant impact on the commercial real estate industry. Harrison has been selected as both an Influencer in Retail Real Estate and a member of the prestigious Class of 2026 Women of Influence.
These annual recognitions celebrate elite professionals who are shaping the future of the industry through innovation, leadership and measurable results. Harrison, a 25-year industry veteran, was selected for her ability to bring clarity and stability to a market defined by shifting consumer behavior and evolving asset performance. In addition, she was acknowledged for her advocacy in an industry where women remain underrepresented.
“Jennifer is a trusted advisor to her clients, consistently providing expert insight,” said David A. Simon, NAIDB chief operating officer. “She’s a true mentor for anyone entering the business and having her on our team brings a perspective that is both valued and appreciated.”
Harrison, a 25-year industry veteran, was recognized for her unique ability to bridge the perspectives of owners, tenants and developers, drawing on a diverse background that includes managing a 500-location national portfolio for a Fortune 500 retailer, along with experience in asset management and brokerage.
“I’m honored to be recognized by GlobeSt. and to be part of a team that prioritizes strategic thinking, long-term client success and diversity in representation,” said Harrison. “At NAIDB, we focus on delivering results that create value for both national brands and local businesses across all of our markets of focus as well as property types.”
Since joining NAIDB in 2024, Harrison has played a key role in expanding the firm’s retail transaction activity, advising clients across the retail, mixed-use and investment property sectors. Her work includes securing multi-location rollouts for national and regional brands, introducing new concepts to the New Jersey market and guiding complex acquisitions and dispositions spanning industrial, office and multifamily properties.
Among her notable accomplishments, Harrison has helped facilitate the expansion of retailers such as Smoothie King and Tim Hortons across New Jersey, while also supporting franchise operators in accessing high-quality retail locations traditionally dominated by larger brands.
Her influence also extends beyond transactions. Harrison is an active member of industry organizations including ICSC, The Pipeline, NAI Women’s Alliance and the NAI Global Retail Council, where she advocates for mentorship, transparency and data-driven practices in retail leasing.
In addition, she contributes to NAIDB’s longstanding commitment to community engagement, supporting initiatives such as Elijah’s Promise and the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, reinforcing the firm’s mission to strengthen the communities it serves.
Harrison’s latest recognitions further establish her role as a forward-thinking leader helping clients navigate an evolving retail landscape, including trends such as adaptive reuse and mixed-use development.
