Just two years after landing at JER from Jones Lang LaSalle, director Alex P. Gilbert takes on the role of principal of the company's North American Fund Investment Management Group. South of the border, John Sobenes continues his rise after a decade at the company with his promotion to vice president out of the Mexico City Office. Sobenes, who came to JER from Cushman & Wakefield, has been in the Mexico office for the last seven years.

Also moving up to the vice president level is Scott Lynn, who joined the company in 2002 after a four-year stint specializing in commercial mortgage backed securities with PricewaterhouseCoopers. He will handle CMBS acquisitions and asset management. And JER's European Fund Investment Management Group gets a new vice president in Jonathan Crombie who left Jones Lange LaSalle's corporate finance team in London for a role with JER in 2002.
