Mubasher: JLL has named James Allan as its new CEO for the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, according to a press release.
Allan succeeded Thierry Delvaux, who stepped down as CEO of JLL Middle East, Africa, and Turkey after nearly five years.
The new CEO brings 20 years of experience, including 15 years with JLL, in real estate across key markets, such as the UK, China, and Indonesia.
In his new role, Allan will work closely with the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) leadership to drive sustained growth across JLL’s business lines. He will be responsible for enhancing its service offering in the MEA region while continuing to deliver the highest quality advice to clients.
Allan commented: “It is a great privilege to build on the existing strong business we have in one of the most dynamic global markets and steer it to a new chapter of strategic growth.”
Sue Asprey Price, CEO of EMEA Work Dynamics at JLL, said: “Real estate sits at the heart of business with buildings becoming a critical enabler of growth. James brings global experience that will be instrumental in helping clients in an exciting, high-growth market by providing innovative spaces that push the boundaries.”
Stephanie Hyde, CEO of EMEA Markets Advisory at JLL, said: “James’ track record in high growth markets such as Indonesia will be valuable in bringing new perspectives to consolidate and strengthen our presence in the MEA region.”
“The demand for top-quality advice for real estate owners and occupiers is only going to accelerate, so we are excited about the opportunities ahead,” Hyde added.
