JJL Greater China, an outpost of the US real-estate services company, is undergoing an executive reshuffle.
Eddie Ng has been appointed MD of Shanghai and East China for the group, succeeding Anthony Couse who moves on to become CEO of JLL Asia Pacific.
Ng’s role as MD of Chengdu and West China will be split, with Xi’an MD Chiao Sheng taking on the West China office as well, and Chengdu retail head Shelly Xie taking over as MD of that office.
All changes take effect on June 1.
Ng joined JLL Hong Kong in 1996, moving to Chengdu in 2005 to set up the firm in the emerging West China region. It was the first corporate office in a Tier II city for JLL China.
From managing a team of five people to running three corporate offices (Chengdu, Chongqing and Xi’an) with a total of 1200 staff today, Ng established JLL’s strategic presence in the region in less than a decade.
JLL Greater China MD KK Fung says East China is one of the most important markets in China and the Asia Pacific for JLL.
Ng says he plans to capitalise on the strong platform built by Couse over the past decade.
Chiao Sheng joined JLL China in 2009, being responsible for its retail business in Chengdu and West China. In 2013, he was promoted as MD of the new Xi’an office and has developed it into the largest professional real-estate services firm in Xi’an. He has had 15 years’ real estate experience in China.
Shelly Xie joined JLL in 2006 and became a key founding member of the firm’s Chengdu office. She led the strategic consulting and research teams in West China, and has been responsible for JLL’s retail business in Chengdu since 2013.
