JLL has hired Pedro Ravelo as the account executive to lead JLL’s Chicago Public Schools (CPS) facility management team. Ravelo’s extensive experience and proven leadership is an invaluable addition to the team, reinforcing JLL’s commitment to delivering exceptional operational performance and further strengthening the successful relationship with CPS, the third largest school district in the United States.
Ravelo brings deep industry knowledge and experience in integrated facilities management (IFM) and operations across multiple sectors, including education, healthcare, manufacturing, data centers and critical environments. His versatile background as a leader and having once served as lead facility manager for CPS make him uniquely qualified to successfully lead JLL’s CPS team.
In his new role, Ravelo will lead the JLL team of experts providing CPS with IFM, including building engineering services, contract oversight, and performance management of CPS-contracted service vendors that comprise a mix of local, small, minority and women-owned businesses.
CPS is the educational home to 323,291 students and 634 schools, including district-run, charter, contract and SAFE schools, with 42,844 total employees. Outsourced facilities operation, maintenance and infrastructure specialists help K-12 schools provide the best environments for their students, faculty, staff and communities they serve.
