JLL Gets New President by Promoting From Within

Colin Dyer, who has been the Chicago-based company’s president and CEO since 2004, will remain CEO.

CHICAGO, LONDON—Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. likes to promote from within, and has just done so again by separating the roles of president and chief executive officer and bringing in Christian Ulbrich, currently chief executive officer for the EMEA region, as its new president. Colin Dyer, who has held both positions since 2004, will remain chief executive officer of the Chicago-based company and guide its global strategy, with a particular emphasis on information technology and data strategies.

“As our firm continues to grow and the real estate industry continues to evolve, our focus on data, information and analytics becomes increasingly important,” a company spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com. “Our ability to provide integrated solutions to our clients is stronger than ever.”
