Carlos Cardoso will lead JLL in Portugal, the property consultancy announced in a statement to
SUPERCASA Notícias. The company's new CEO will lead a team of 450 employees and is focussed on
consolidating JLL's leadership in the national market, in which the consultancy has been operating for 27 years, taking up office with immediate effect.
Carlos Cardoso has been with JLL for 13 years and was responsible for developing Tétris, the consultancy's architecture and construction department, which under his direction grew from a team of 2 to 95 people and became one of the drivers of turnover in Portugal. In 2023, Tétris recorded growth of 12 per cent compared to the previous year, reinforcing the trajectory of positive evolution that it has been charting, as well as its position as a leader in the national market.
Marie-Laure Leclercq de Sousa, CEO France, BeLux & Southern Europe at JLL, emphasises: "Carlos has developed a remarkable career at JLL, driving one of the most successful business areas in Portugal from the start. He is a leader by nature, with an innovative business vision and an unrivalled commitment to clients, and is therefore in an excellent position to drive JLL's evolution in Portugal. I congratulate Carlos on this appointment, which is also proof that JLL is a company that recognises the excellence of its talents".
Nicasio Gutierrez, CEO of Tétris, added: "I would like to thank Carlos for his leadership at Tétris and for his undeniable contribution to the success of this business area not only in Portugal but also at European level over the years. Under his leadership, Tétris has grown exponentially in Portugal, and is today one of JLL's main billing engines in the country, bringing together almost a quarter of the entire consultancy team in Portugal, with emblematic projects in all types of property".
Carlos Cardoso, CEO of JLL Portugal, comments: "I would like to thank you first and foremost for the challenge I have been given on this journey I have been on at JLL/Tétris. I'm proud to be part of the growth of this company, which already has 450 people and where I'll have the opportunity to work even more closely with all our business areas. I'm excited to take on this new challenge and start a new cycle at JLL, reinforcing my contribution to building a better world every day for our people, our clients and our cities".
Married and the father of five boys, Carlos Cardoso is an architect by training, with a degree from Lusíada University. He takes over as CEO of JLL, while maintaining his role as Managing Director of Tétris.
