JLL head of valuation advisory for EMEA alternatives Ollie Saunders has left the agency after nearly nine years.
Saunders will take a short break. He joined JLL in 2014 as lead director of its alternatives team, which focused on valuation, corporate deals and capital markets in core alternative markets, including student housing, health care, self-storage, data centres and car parking.
During his time at JLL, he set up its self-storage offering, which has since grown to include valuation, data and research, debt and capital markets.
Before that, Saunders was an equity partner at Deloitte following its merger with Drivers Jonas, which he joined as a graduate in 1994. He went on to lead its real estate valuations business.
At Deloitte, he established the method for valuing self-storage, and was involved in more than £500m of deals between 2007 and 2013. He was also involved in car-parking businesses including NCP, non-performing loan books of European banks and airport transactions.
Saunders was also a founding board member of LGBTQ+ networking forum Freehold.
A spokesperson at JLL said: “We can confirm that Ollie Saunders is stepping down from his role as head of EMEA alternatives, value and risk advisory and moving on from JLL. We are thankful for his contribution to the business over the years and we wish him all the best for the future.”
