Ackman-Ziff has a new chief operating officer, and she means business. Andrea Jang was previously Americas Head of Growth at JLL Spark, where she focused on real estate venture investments. Prior to that, she was a senior vice president on JLL’s corporate development team. Now, she’s tasked with driving operational effectiveness and efficiencies across another  of New York City’s top advisory firms. Commercial Observer lunched with Jang to learn more about her first few weeks in the new role, the firm’s strategy and what she thinks the industry can be doing to encourage more women and under-represented minorities to work in commercial real estate.
