CHICAGO, Jan. 20, 2021 – JLL announced Charlotte Elstob as Senior Vice President of Global Business Development in the firm’s Retail, Industrial and Logistics business lines. Elstob will guide clients seeking to grow their retail and industrial international presence.

“Charlotte will play an integral role in driving global expansion for JLL Retail and Industrial clients,” said Naveen Jaggi, President of Retail Advisory Services, JLL. “Her strength as a leader and history of execution allowed her to quickly pivot upon COVID-19 to connect our clients with new solutions for global expansion as they navigate their changing portfolios and needs.”
