JLL has announced that Andy Poppink will become the CEO of its EMEA markets, as part of a shake up of global and regional leadership roles.
Poppink, who is relocating to Europe from his present role leading the US West region, will succeed Guy Grainger who was announced earlier this week as JLL’s global head of sustainability services & ESG.
Other key appointments include current Americas CEO, Greg O’Brien, moving into a new role as global CEO markets, leading the global executive board overview of all regional and local markets operations.
John Gates will lead the Americas region as CEO Americas markets, while Anthony Couse will continue to lead the Asia Pacific region. Gates, Couse and Poppink will report to O’Brien, with all these changes effective 1 January 2021.
'These appointments will complete the transformation program which we began implementing in January 2019,' said JLL CEO, Christian Ulbrich. 'Leveraging substantial multiyear investments in our platform and technology, we are further enhancing the seamless global integration of our services and expertise. That’s something our clients identify as a key benefit in working with JLL, particularly during the ongoing pandemic where our ability to quickly adapt and deploy products and services is vital.'
Earlier phases of the transformation programme delivered global alignment of JLL’s corporate solutions, capital markets and valuation advisory business lines, along with the company’s corporate functions, according to the firm, and saw the launch of JLL Technologies.
