Jones Lang LaSalle Taps Dyer as New CEO

CHICAGO-Colin Dyer, a Briton with extensive experience in running international concerns, will take up the position in September. He will succeed Stuart Scott, chairman of the board of directors, who has been interim CEO since early this year.

CHICAGO-Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. has selected Colin Dyer, 51, as its new president and CEO, effective Sept. 7. His selection marks the culmination of an executive search by the board of the international real estate services and money management firm that began in January, when the previous CEO, Christopher Peacock, resigned after less than two years at the post. In the months since then, Jones Lang LaSalle chairman (and CEO from 1999 to 2002) Stuart L. Scott has served as interim CEO.

Dyer, a British citizen based in Washington, DC, is currently CEO of WorldWide Retail Exchange, an Internet-based exchange owned by 40 of the world’s largest retailers and manufacturers, a position he has held since 2000. Before that, he was CEO of Courtaulds Textiles, a clothing and textile company operating in 17 countries. He will relocate his primary office to Chicago in the fall.

Dyer tells GlobeSt.com that his first order of business after taking the helm will be to visit as many parts of the operation as possible, meeting staff, clients and investors. It will mean a lot of travel: currently the company operates in about 100 markets. “A very strong foundation has been laid, particularly in the last four years, as the LaSalle business, and the Jones Lang business in Europe, have come together to form a global platform,” he says.
