Three executives leave JLL's Hotels & Hospitality Group to start family office
THREE executives at JLL's Hotels & Hospitality Group left this month to start a family office looking to invest in hotels and real estate, according to their LinkedIn profiles.
The three are David Marriott, who was previously an executive vice-president, Daniel Yip, and Giuliano Esposito, who were both formerly senior vice-presidents. They were from JLL's Hotels & Hospitality Group in Asia.
Mr Yip said in a LinkedIn post: "With the world a very different place, opportunity beckons - and I am excited to share that I have joined Giuliano Esposito and David Marriott to start the investment arm of a Singaporean family looking to invest in hotels and real estate."
The trio are now partners at High Street Holdings Singapore as at this month.
