Jerry Llewellyn stepping back from Sectorlight, to become Non-Executive Director, and Founder Emeritus.
Imagination is a gift bestowed to us from first breath. It’s human nature to create, think, and dream. Some good, a few with genius rarity, and plenty to leave on the cutting room floor.
The tenacity and guts to turn an idea into a business plan takes a different type of vision. One which might fail when missing relentless passion and bold commitment in what one does. What began as a visionary concept in the mind of a young, ambitious Creative Director, evolved into a 35-year tenure nurturing a family of imaginative individuals into a powerful international branding agency.
Sectorlight began as a trusted guide. Leading others, through knowledge, creativity and gusto. A partner to our people. A beacon in our clients’ sectors. Manning our beacon for nearly the last four decades has been Jerry Llewellyn.
Founder, creator, guardian.
Steering the agency on its journey. Existing in the magic of place and space, as the living places we’ve helped shape evolve through revolutionary transformation, cultural evolution and human presence.
As with every adventure, companionship is the traveller’s comforter. Jerry’s incredible charisma and empathy to the challenges of real estate has championed the agency to dedicate energy in forging powerful relationships with our clients as we set off on countless journeys with them. Guiding, re-directing and celebrating together.
“The foundations of Jerry’s ’94 vision still guide us today. Re-ignited though our ethos; ‘powerful partnerships’. It’s what we do in bringing people, places and brands together. It’s how we behave. Together, alongside. In it for the ride.”
Landmarks left along the way. The vison of so many development and marketing teams brought to life with Jerry’s inquisitive, insightful mind, shaping so much of the horizon we see in our cities across the globe.
London’s towering commercial rise. Bringing Canary Wharf back to the market alongside Paul Reichman and Sir George Iacobescu, Stratford London’s next generation of cultural champions – IQL. Poland’s beacon for the future workplace – Varso Tower. Launching islands in the UAE – Al Maryah, Home of the Europe. Opening Europe’s first One&Only Residence, Montenegro and the launch of the new Atlantis The Royal in Dubai. The list of notable landmarks rolls on…
As Sectorlight’s journey continues along the path Jerry laid out for us, our founder takes up position as eager passenger, along for the ride into futures ahead.
Sectorlight’s leadership and operations will continue to be driven by our Group CEO, Rich Stevens, managing our global proposition alongside Nina Vithlani MENA Managing Director and Aoife O’Connell UK Managing Director, leading on growth and client partnerships for their territories. Jerry, founder emeritus, remains on the board as a Non-Executive Director.
Jerry’s presence and insights will always be felt within the agency group, and whilst day to day we’ll miss him in client meetings and boardroom pitches, Jerry remains an invaluable partner to the leadership team. With a career trunk full of market knowledge, strategic insight, and a charming ability to always be up for the challenge.
Sectorlight’s most powerful of partners. No truer statement could be made about an individual that has shaped so much in the real estate sector. Jerry this is your moment.
