JLL has appointed Alan MacKenzie as its CEO of Canadian Markets to lead the firm’s business across Canada and its adoption of new technologies.
Toronto-based MacKenzie has more than 30 years of experience most recently at Triovest Realty Advisors as president, CIO, and COO. He joined Triovest when the firm acquired MacKenzie Goulais, the retail and investment advisory business he started in 2001.
"We are thrilled to welcome Alan MacKenzie as our strategic leader in Canada," said John Gates, CEO Americas Markets, JLL. "This is an exciting hire for both Canada and all of the Americas business. There is great potential in the Canadian market, and with Alan's strong, proven leadership, we'll continue to build on our business and digital leadership across the region."
MacKenzie began his career as a broker at CBRE and says he has joined JLL due to its global brand, scale, and quality of the team.
JLL Canada has grown exponentially in the past 7 years, achieving revenue growth of over 1,400% and has expanded its footprint to nine corporate offices across the country.
"I look forward to growing JLL's current business, expanding into new verticals and focusing on delivering high-end products to our new and future client base. I am impressed by JLL's investment in technology and innovation, and I look forward to leading the company's future advancements in this field," MacKenzie said.
