RIYADH: Global real estate consultancy firm JLL has appointed Saud Mohammed Alsulaimani as its new country head for Saudi Arabia, as it expands its presence in the Kingdom.
The decision comes amid national efforts toward boosting the Kingdom’s business environment and increasing the capacity of Saudi citizens in leadership positions, according to a statement.
“With Saudi Arabia focusing on economic diversification, there is an enormous opportunity for professional real estate companies to help the country in realizing its vision, and we intend to be at the forefront of it,” said Thierry Delvaux, CEO of JLL Middle East, Africa and Turkey.
Prior to joining JLL, Alsulaimani was the executive director at the Tourism Development Fund, where he managed the real estate development and research department.
He was also an independent board member of Al Rajhi REIT Fund. Also, Alsulaimani was part of the real estate and infrastructure team at the Kingdom’s Public Investment Fund.
With over 300 employees in Saudi Arabia, JLL was one of the first real estate consultancies to establish itself in the Kingdom with offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Al Khobar.
