JLL has appointed Anne-Lyse Raoul as head of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), with responsibility for implementing the company’s DEI strategy across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Based in Paris, Raoul joins JLL’s global DEI leadership team led by Nashunda Williams to shape the company’s global and regional DEI strategy.
Said Williams: 'I’m delighted to welcome Anne-Lyse to the team, to support our drive towards a clear global approach to DEI.
'Diversity, equity and inclusion connects every facet of our business and, by bringing together our people with a shared focus and commitment, that unity will accelerate progress and growth across all areas.
'We hold ourselves accountable to a clear set of ambitious goals and want every one of our people to truly feel they belong and proud of the role that they play.'
Raoul has led diversity inclusion programmes in multinational companies for the past nine years in the financial and luxury goods industries.
In her last role at Kering, French luxury goods company, as group D&I manager, Anne-Lyse served as a strategic partner to the business and designed and delivered D&I focused initiatives to implement behavioural changes.
Andy Poppink, EMEA Markets CEO added: 'The real estate industry is making important progress on its DEI journey, but there is still a lot to do. At JLL, we are fully committed to driving meaningful change.
'Anne-Lyse will play a key role as partner to our EMEA leadership teams, HR organisation and employees at all levels to help make the culture of JLL a more diverse, equal and inclusive one for all.'
