Rivers brings experience to new role at JLL

Last March, Tim Rivers got a phone call from JLL Managing Director Brent Miller, with whom he serves on the board of Tampa’s Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, to ask if he’d apply for the job leading the commercial real estate brokerage firm’s Florida operations.

Though Rivers had a top-level position with rival Cushman & Wakefield at the time, the move to JLL would represent a major step up in a 20-plus-year career filled with steady advancement.
