iO Partners, the JLL Preferred Partner, appointed Robert Sgariboldi as the Head of Industrial agency in Czechia. This strategic move comes in the wake of the recent appointment of James Fitzgerald as Regional Director for the Industrial & Logistics business, covering the CEE and Balkan region.


"Working alongside James and the iO Partners Czech team over the past year and a half has revealed that we've harnessed an ideal mix of skills and experiences to propel our business ahead. James will now direct his focus toward advancing our CEE operations, while I will assume responsibility for elevating our already outstanding market presence in Czechia. I am looking forward to collaborating with our team and business partners to provide the highest quality advisory services that will benefit everyone," stated Robert Sgariboldi.

The Prague-based Industrial & Logistics team specializes in providing advisory and brokerage services for occupiers, owners, and investors. The team is actively involved in land acquisition and asset leasing, and its market-leading position is evident with a remarkable 34% market share in H1/2023.

Robert Sgariboldi joined iO Partners/JLL in 2022, bringing with him over two decades of experience acquired through various managerial positions in the 3PL and real estate sectors.
