JLL has announced that former EMEA boss Christian Ulbrich is to succeed Colin Dyer as CEO of the global property adviser on 1 October.
Ulbrich already took over the position of president in June this year. Before that, Ulbrich was CEO of the EMEA business since 2009.
Dyer has led the JLL group for 12 years. He steps down as CEO at end-September and retires from JLL at the end of 2016.
As President and CEO, Ulbrich will have overall leadership responsibility for JLL's strategic direction and growth. He will report to the board of directors, on which he serves as an executive member. He also will chair the company's global executive board, the most senior internal management committee, on which he has served for eight years.
Ulbrich joined JLL in 2005 as managing director of JLL Germany.
JLL said that in order to ensure a smooth transition, Dyer will continue to guide the company's data, information and analytics priorities through the end of 2016. He will also remain on the board of directors through the annual shareholders meeting in spring of 2017 and serve as an advisor through 2017.
