Locale has appointed Lesley Roberts, managing director of Godwin’s Monogram Living business, as chair of the company’s advisory board.
Prior to joining Monogram Living, Roberts served as a partner at Allsop LLP and CEO of Allsop Letting and Management. She was previously chair of Soho Housing Association and held roles at Pinnacle Places, Young Group and City Living London.
Roberts is a member of the British Property Federation’s residential board and an executive board member of the Association for Rental Living (ARL).
Roberts said: “Proptech is an exciting and ever-evolving aspect of real estate, rapidly becoming essential for the continuous enhancement of the environments where we live, work and play. As a long-standing real estate practitioner, I am thrilled by technological innovation, diverse perspectives and fresh approaches. The composition of the Locale board promises to deliver on all three. I look forward to supporting the business in creating even more impactful, industry-leading real estate solutions that elevate standards and improve the built environment.”
Guy Windsor-Lewis, chief executive and founder of Locale, added: “Lesley has been a long-standing friend of Locale; having known her for over a decade and followed her formidable career, she has been a committed believer of technology in real estate and her leadership and experience in our advisory board will be a game-changer.
“Despite the challenging economic landscape, Locale continues to scale and I have no doubt the advisory board, led by Lesley, will be instrumental in guiding us in our journey and continue to champion the long-lasting benefits of real estate technology.”
