SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - JLL has appointed Kathleen Stubbs as chief information officer (CIO) for Australia and New Zealand.

Previously, Stubbs was serving as global head of infrastructure and service delivery (deputy global CIO) for Knight Frank’s global head office in London.

“Kathleen’s global and Australian experience is impressive and spans blockchain for property, IoT, artificial intelligence and robotic process automation solutions,” says Stephen Conry, CEO of JLL Australia & New Zealand.

Stubbs’ career has included overseeing service and operations management, application, and database management in companies such as Star Entertainment Group, Herbert Smith Freehills Solicitors, Ernst & Young, and King & Wood Mallesons.

Silicon Valley veterans Mihir Shah and Yishai Lerner have been named to oversee JLL Technologies and will join the company’s global executive board.
