In response to her appointment, Roli said: “I am committed to enabling our tenants and communities to continue to live successfully and create a home. I look forward to working collaboratively with the board, colleagues, tenants and other stakeholders to deliver Jigsaw Group’s values and purpose, and further our mission of building sustainable and inclusive communities.”
