Dana Salbak Takes on Expanded EMEA & APAC Research Role at JLL

JLL has expanded Dana Salbak's responsibilities to include connectivity across its EMEA and APAC Research teams, as she takes on a broader regional remit focused on global strategy and new markets.

Sharing the update on LinkedIn, Dana reflected on the transition with a characteristically candid take, referencing a personality assessment that described her as highly open, conscientious, and agreeable. She joked that the results were particularly fitting for a role that involves saying yes to new markets and following through on multiple priorities.

Connecting Research Across Regions

In her expanded role, Dana will help strengthen collaboration between JLL's Research teams across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC).

Her focus will include building stronger connectivity across regional teams, aligning research priorities with the company's global strategy, and exploring opportunities in new markets.

The broader remit brings together different regional perspectives while supporting greater consistency and collaboration across JLL's global Research organisation.

Bringing New Perspectives to Global Strategy

Dana highlighted the importance of learning from colleagues across different markets as she begins working with new teams and regional stakeholders.

Her approach is centred on listening, understanding local perspectives, and finding opportunities to connect regional expertise with broader business priorities.

The expanded role also reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of commercial real estate markets, where research across regions can provide valuable context for clients, investors, and businesses navigating changing economic and market conditions.

Looking Ahead

Dana said she is particularly looking forward to meeting new colleagues, learning from different teams, and exploring new markets across EMEA and APAC.

She thanked Tom Carroll and Ben Breslau for their trust and support as she takes on the expanded responsibilities.

With a broader regional mandate, Dana will play a role in strengthening collaboration across JLL's Research organisation while helping bring regional insights into the company's wider global strategy.
