JLL announced that Christian Ulbrich, who has held the role of president since June, assumes the position of CEO this month. Ulbrich succeeds Colin Dyer, who will retire from JLL at the end of 2016 and remain on the board of directors through spring 2017. Ulbrich joined JLL in 2005 as managing director of JLL Germany and served as EMEA CEO from 2009 before being named president. Under his leadership, JLL prospered in the EMEA region, outperforming challenging economic conditions to nearly triple its revenue. Ulbrich’s real estate experience includes jobs as CEO of the HIH group of companies, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, and part of M.M. Warburg Bank, and holding various positions within German and international banks. He holds a business administration degree from the University of Hamburg. “Working closely with Christian since he joined JLL, I know firsthand his deep understanding of global real estate dynamics and ability to lead across wide and diverse geographies,” said Dyer, who has led the firm since 2004.
