Based in Singapore, Pamela will partner closely with JLL’s regional Capital Markets and Research teams to drive the firm’s investor intelligence program and advise and interact with its existing and future client base regionally.

We’re delighted to welcome Pamela to this new role as we continue to broaden our strategic intelligence offering to clients,” says Stuart Crow, CEO, Capital Markets, Asia Pacific, JLL.

Pamela joins JLL from regional broadcaster ChannelNewsAsia where she was one of the media platform’s most visible presenters and producers of global and regional business and economic news.
