CHICAGO— JLL recently named Ute Braasch as chief operating officer for its Corporate Solutions business in the Americas. Braasch previously held a similar role in the company’s Asia Pacific region.   Braasch will relocate to Chicago and start her new job in April, reporting to John Forrest , chair, JLL Global Corporate Solutions Board, and chief executive officer, Americas Corporate Solutions. She will oversee several of the firm’s key projects, including the delivery of RED, a new data and insights platform designed to offer a holistic view of a client’s operations.   Forrest notes that Braasch’s appointment comes at a time of big change in the corporate real estate industry. “Her diverse background includes starting her career in Europe, followed by extensive work experience in Asia Pacific,” he says. “Having lived and worked in Germany, the US, Southeast Asia, Australia and India, Ute has broad geographic experience, which gives her a keen understanding of what it takes to be successful in today’s global marketplace.”   Braasch joined JLL in 2011, most recently having led operations for Corporate Solutions across 16 countries in Asia Pacific. In that role, she directed a number of transformation projects across sales, productivity, human resources, technology and governance. Prior to joining JLL, she spent time at consulting firms Boston Consulting Group and Booz Allen & Hamilton , as well as the global transportation company Hapag-Lloyd . “Ute’s significant experience outside the real estate industry is important in ensuring we stay ahead of the rapid transformational changes that are occurring within corporate real estate,” adds Forrest.
