WHEN AND HOW DID JLL SPARK FORM ? HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED ?
JLL launched JLL Spark in July 2017 , with the aim of accelerate the firm ’ s position as proptech leaders in digital real estate services . In this time , we ’ ve seen JLL Spark go from strength to strength , which is crucial given the fast-paced nature of the proptech industry .
Myself and my co-CEO Yishai Lerner had previously led the charge on a number of JLL initiatives , including founding , managing and investing in a number of technology businesses . Joining JLL Spark felt like the natural step forward for us .
