Partner to Empower is the result of collective effort — driven by a passionate team at Brookfield Properties and strengthened by trusted partners and retail experts across the country. From internal leaders to external collaborators, these are the people who helped bring the program to life and support hundreds of small businesses on their growth journeys.
The Brookfield Properties team
This cross-functional team from Brookfield Properties brought their expertise in leasing, operations, marketing, and small business strategy to guide each Partner to Empower cohort — from concept to execution.
Michelle Brown Isabel
VP, Partner to Empower
“Partner to Empower is an intentional step Brookfield Properties took to break down barriers and make our malls more reflective of the communities they serve. I’ve been deeply inspired by the businesses we worked with — and by the community of support that grew around this program. Together, we’ve made a lasting impact on the retail industry.”

An essential part of the program experience, our Retail Workshop was built and facilitated by our trusted partners at Global Core Strategies & Consulting.
