John Gates has been named CEO over Americas markets at JLL. Based out of the firm’s Dallas office, he previously oversaw U.S. and Canadian operations; this latest promotion also puts Latin America under his direction.
The announcement is considered a final step in the real estate giant’s two-year transformation program.
Gates replaces Greg O’Brien, who will move into a new role as global CEO markets. Anthony Couse will continue to lead the Asia Pacific region, while Andy Poppink will become CEO of EMEA markets.
Poppink, who is relocating to Europe from his present role leading the U.S. West Region, will succeed Guy Grainger, who was announced earlier this week as JLL’s Global Head of Sustainability Services & ESG. Gates, Couse, and Poppink will report to O’Brien. All changes will take effect on Jan. 1, 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.”
