TORONTO, May 9, 2024 - JLL announced today that it has appointed Scott Barras to oversee business operations and drive growth as Work Dynamics Canada Lead. Barras will execute a strategic vision to help clients primarily based and operating in Canada drive maximum value from their real estate portfolios at a time when more organizations are turning to JLL for technology, talent, workplace and sustainability solutions.
"As part of our strategy to provide specialized expertise and capabilities across geographies, we are invested in Canada as a significant growth market," said Cheryl Carron, JLL Chief Operating Officer, Work Dynamics Americas. "Scott is a dynamic leader whose significant experience as a service provider client, paired with our talented team of Canadian experts, position him well to anticipate and respond to client needs as the industry continues to evolve."
"The future of work, sustainability and technology have met at a critical intersection, and it's exciting to be a part of guiding clients through the transformational changes happening in the workplace and its growing significance in our lives and communities," Barras said. "I'm thrilled to be a part of JLL and look forward to forging strong relationships with our clients and partners as the real estate industry moves toward a more sustainable future."
Barras joins JLL from Standard Chartered Bank, where he most recently served as Global Head of Workplace in Singapore. He is actively involved with CoreNet Global and was honored with their Singapore CRE Executive of the Year Award in 2022.
Barras' appointment is part of several significant advancements in the Work Dynamics Americas organization.

Additionally, JLL named Amanda Kross to Americas Regional Growth Lead for its Global Consulting business in January 2024.
