Lendlease has appointed Justin Gabbani as the Group Chief Executive Officer for Asia, effective on 1 June.
Based in Singapore, Gabbani will succeed Tony Lombardo who was named in February this year as Group Chief Executive Officer Designate.
Gabbani, who joined Lendlease in 2003, most recently held the position of Chief Financial Officer for Asia, in which he was responsible for key functions including finance, investment and capital markets, research, and strategy.
“A selection process is underway for his successor,” said Lendlease in a release.
He also previously served as Head of Investment and Capital Markets for Asia and Europe as well as held various roles in the investment management and development businesses.
“Justin has been based in Singapore since 2011 and is well credentialed to lead our Asia business as we progress a range of significant opportunities across the region,” said Lombardo.
Lendlease also announced the appointment of Deborah Yates as its Chief People Officer, based in Sydney. She will commence her new role on 1 July.
Her appointment follows the resignation of Alex Christie, Lendlease’s Group Head of People and Culture.
Currently, Yates is the National Managing Partner for People and Corporate Affairs at KPMG.
Prior to KPMG, she served as Chief HR Officer at Reckitt Benckiser. Her career with Reckitt Benckiser started in Australia and took her to the Netherlands, the US and the UK.
“As our newly appointed Chief People Officer, Deb comes to Lendlease with more than 25 years’ experience leading the people functions of a range of high-profile organisations and companies. Deb’s strong track record in working alongside people to develop their skills and capabilities, as well as driving inclusion and diversity, makes her well placed to make a significant contribution to our 9,500-strong global workforce,” said Lombardo.
In congratulating Gabbani and Yates to their appointments, Lendlease Group Chief Executive Officer Steve McCann said: “Their demonstrated skills and expertise will bring valuable new perspectives to Lendlease’s global leadership team as the Group continues to execute against its record US$110 billion global development pipeline.”
