Women in Real Estate 2020: JLL’s Lauren O’Neil Makes Strides For Women In The Industry

Lauren O’Neil is the pinnacle of leadership, serving as Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of JLL’s Boston Capital Markets Team. Since becoming a broker in 2011 she has amassed nearly $6 million in closed transactions and $10 billion since the beginning of her career.

O’Neil has striven to maintain a reputation of tirelessness, honesty and integrity have driven her career, marking her as a trusted advisor and a figure that her clients can depend on. She has also ensured that other women in the industry can depend on her as well, making it an initiative of hers to hire, retain, and promote women. JLL Capital Markets’ Boston team has women compromising nearly 30% of the team with six women brokers and eight women analysts. She ensures that women are placed in revenue-generating roles where they are given the tools to feel empowered and be successful.

These are just a few of the reasons we chose O’Neil as one of the 2020 Women in Real Estate Award winners. Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected positions of leadership and play key mentorship roles for others.

O’Neil is an active member of NAIOP and CREW, serving as an active board member for REFA. She tirelessly works to improve her community as well, having served as President from 2018-2019 of John Winthrop, a non-profit school in Boston, and is involved with Heading Home, as well as She for She.
