The additions reflect a broader governance trend among large professional services firms, which have sought directors with cross-industry credentials spanning finance, infrastructure, and digital transformation. JLL's expanded board is positioned to draw on those disciplines as the company pursues its long-term strategic priorities.
Both directors will serve in non-executive, independent capacities, meaning they will provide oversight and counsel without taking on day-to-day operational roles within the firm. Their appointments are subject to standard governance formalities ahead of the December effective date.
