ABOUT JULIE RICKETTS DANIEL
Hi, I’m Julie, a real estate and infrastructure executive who has redefined how a national enterprise uses its real estate assets to drive business performance and create new, lasting value.Done right, corporate real estate quietly powers transformation by:Upgrading what you don’t see to cut energy bills and emissions.Protecting property value by staying ahead of zoning and permitting changes.Turning assets into steady revenue, not one-time cheques.Lowering operating costs and risk while keeping critical operations online.Designing workplaces that help people do their best work.At Bell, I lead a team of 400 real estate and infrastructure professionals overseeing properties across Canada and the U.S, with a $500M+ P&L. My role combines enterprise strategy with 24/7 operations, including the power and cooling infrastructure behind Bell’s mission-critical environments: telecom central offices, data centres, broadcast facilities, wireless towers, and administrative sites. As technology and power demands evolve, my team is focused on what comes next: optimizing select assets for future-ready uses, including AI-ready data-centre infrastructure. This work bridges infrastructure strategy and technology, repositioning assets for next-generation digital needs.Some of the impact I’m most proud of includes:• Delivering $400M+ in enterprise-wide cumulative benefits through a multi-year Real Estate Optimization Program.• Reducing our office footprint by 25% while modernizing the employee experience for colleagues.• Leading our Energy Transformation roadmap, targeting a 58% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 — marrying cost savings with climate responsibility.Beyond the numbers, I’m deeply committed to mentorship and inclusion. I actively mentor high-potential leaders and serve as Executive Sponsor for Black Professionals at Bell and as a member of Bell’s Diversity Leadership Council.I believe great leaders deliver results at scale, set a compelling vision, and stay radically honest about the current state — with a clear plan to advance.We embrace technology and creativity — and prove financial value in every aspect of real estate and every property we manage. Open to conversations on real estate strategy, infrastructure transformation, energy, and sustainability.
