JLL appointed Mark Kreisman as its new Global Division President for the Financial Services division.
In his new role, Kreisman provides executive oversight for a global portfolio of approximately one billion square feet, guiding banking, financial services, investment management, fintech and insurance clients with actionable insights, forward-thinking strategies and industry-leading expertise.
Over his 18 years at JLL, Kreisman has held numerous senior leadership roles across portfolio management, regional account management and global operations. Most recently, he was JLL’s Global Head of Corporate Real Estate and was responsible for overseeing JLL’s global property portfolio across more than 80 countries. Prior to that, he served as the Global Account Executive for a large global financial institution and successfully led a complex global transformation and secured new technology revenue streams.
Reporting to Rishi, Kreisman now leads a team of approximately 10,000 experts focused on delivering superior outcomes through integrated facilities management and providing workplace solutions that help clients boost the performance of their workplaces and real estate portfolios.
Kreisman’s promotion comes at a time when some financial services firms are undergoing rapid AI transformations, with 91% now piloting AI solutions, which is a dramatic leap from the 65% reported the year prior. This surge is matched by significant technology investment, as 31% of corporate real estate leaders anticipate tech budgets will grow by more than 15% in the next three years.
Kreisman succeeds Bobby Magnano, who was recently promoted into a new leadership role within JLL’s Leasing Advisory business, as President for the U.S. East Region and member of the U.S. Leasing Advisory Executive Committee.
