JLL has recruited Samuel Rose from Cushman & Wakefield as data centre transactions director for the EMEA region.
At Cushman & Wakefield he was land transaction advisor for the EMEA data centres team. In his new role, he will be responsible for site provisioning, acquisition and disposals, and will work closely with Tom Glover, head of data centre transactions, EMEA, at JLL.
Glover said: “As our industry continues to grow at an exponential rate, the demand for expert knowledge of the market combined with transactional expertise is also rising. Having Sam on board places us in an excellent position to drive the continued evolution of our data centres team in EMEA and strengthen our ability to provide expert advice to occupiers, operators, investors, capital providers and developers looking for suitable locations for data centres that meet regulatory and environmental criteria. I am pleased to welcome Sam to the team.”
Rose added: “Data centre location strategy is becoming more critical in Europe, and there are important success factors to consider when determining the best location for data centres. We’re seeing cloud providers, investors, developers and operators starting to take a more strategic geographic and environmental approach to data centre site selection. I look forward to working with the wider JLL team to support our clients’ requirements.”
