Vicki Robinson, senior vice president, JLL

BACKGROUND: Vicki Robinson specializes in portfolio lease management for corporate users, exclusively representing tenants with a current portfolio of more than 1,500 leases and a focus on relationships, customer service and trust. She is a five-time JLL Top Achiever and an industry leader, having held president and board positions for multiple industry organizations.

SOURCE OF PRIDE: “In my early 40s I left a career in Georgia to join a new CRE office in Arizona (Staubach Company, later purchased by JLL). I began in business development but Roger Staubach encouraged women at the negotiating table, so I soon joined the transactional side. I’m grateful for that opportunity and proud I took the leap of faith.”  

SURPRISING FACT: “When I was little, I learned my ABCs in Japanese. My father was a career Air Force man and he was stationed in Okinawa when I was in nursery school. It was a great experience. I only wish I had retained some of that knowledge!”

SOURCE OF INSPIRATION: “Actress, comedian and director Lily Tomlin once said, “The road to success is always under construction.” I love this quote and keep it by my desk. It reminds me to be prepared for delays and detours, but to keep moving toward the end result.”
