Jll Singapore Chief Chris Archibold Exit Thailand Head Michael Glancy Named Successor
JLL, one of the world’s leading real estate consultancies, has announced the departure of its Singapore country head, Chris Archibold, in an internal email seen by EdgeProp. After more than 21 years with the company, Archibold will be leaving in the coming months.
In January 2021, Archibold was appointed as the country head of JLL Singapore, following his successful tenure as the head of the office leasing business for 14 years and later as the head of leasing in 2018.
According to Daniel Kernaghan, JLL’s CEO for Australia and New Zealand, Archibold has played a pivotal role in the growth of the leasing business as well as the enterprise platform in Singapore. Under his leadership, Singapore has become one of the strongest, most stable, and highest-revenue markets globally for JLL.
