Daniella Jimenez, Senior Marketing Manager | Lendlease Construction
Daniella is a high performing commercial real estate professional with 10+ years of experience.

Daniella’s intersectionality also extends beyond her role, as she can speak to being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, a female in a male-dominated sector, and a member of the APPI Community.
