Commenting on the movements, JLL CEO Christian Ulbrich said: “Mary has played a pivotal role in guiding the strategic transformation of our business and has successfully led the modernization and upskilling of our world-class HR organization. Laura is the ideal successor as Chief HR Officer and a great fit as a member of our Global Executive Board.
