Background

About Markell Bridges

I am a dynamic leader who makes a positive difference in the lives of others – enabling people to do great things. After a fulfilling global career in corporate IT leadership, I’ve found a new calling in real estate—helping individuals and families find the spaces where their lives can flourish. As a licensed real estate broker in the Chicagoland area, I bring the same strategic mindset, relationship focus, and dedication to service that defined my corporate journey. Before retiring from corporate life, I spent over two decades providing IT leadership at Mondelēz International (formerly part of Kraft Foods). During my career, I held various global roles and led initiatives that transformed how people, systems, and strategies aligned across the business. My core areas of focus included: People Leadership | Innovation and Transformation | Human Capital Management | Payroll Solutions | IT Strategy, Planning, and Operations | Digital Marketing | International Business Management I am a global citizen with a deep appreciation for people, cultures, and diversity. My international assignments took me to Paris, France and Vienna, Austria, broadening both my worldview and leadership perspective. Today, I continue to build on that foundation—whether guiding a homebuyer through a major life transition or connecting with communities across Chicago through real estate.
