Auckland, 17 December 2015 – CBRE is pleased to announce Jamahl Williams has been appointed to the role of Director, Quality and Risk Management for the New Zealand Valuation & Advisory Services business, effective 1 January 2016.
Jamahl will form part of CBRE’s Asia Pacific Valuation & Advisory Services Quality and Risk Management team and jointly report to Steve Douglas-Watson, CBRE Asia Pacific, Head of Quality and Risk Management, and Campbell Stewart, CBRE New Zealand, National Director of Valuation & Advisory Services.
Jamahl has over 16 years’ valuation experience, having worked in a number of valuation roles in both Auckland and Hamilton. He joined CBRE in 2010 as a Director of Valuation & Advisory Services and during his tenure has continued to build an excellent reputation, particularly in the development land sector.
Campbell Stewart stated, “Earlier this year we identified the need for the New Zealand Valuation & Advisory Services business to have its own dedicated Quality and Risk Management resource.
“This allows us to align with CBRE’s global direction of developing a sustainable risk mitigation platform for Valuation & Advisory Services, and stay a step ahead of our competitors. It is a pioneering role for the New Zealand business, and we are the first of our local peer group to appoint someone in this capacity.”
Jamahl’s primary responsibilities will include developing a sustainable risk management framework for CBRE’s New Zealand Valuation & Advisory Services business, and ensuring valuations comply with external and internal standards and policies. He will provide training, development and mentoring to the New Zealand valuation team, while providing advice to the Asia Pacific regional team on New Zealand valuation related issues. Jamahl will also be CBRE’s key client liaison with the New Zealand banking credit risk sector.
Campbell adds, “From my perspective it’s great to be able to appoint someone of Jamahl’s calibre to this role, with the added benefit of him already having an intimate knowledge of our business.”
