Amit Kakar is a Senior Director at JLL at JLL. Colleagues describe them as "Amit and I had an economics class together the first semester of our junior year at JMU. Today, I count myself lucky for that chance meeting. Smart, capable, and inquisitive, he made every lecture more stimulating with his pointed questions and rare insight. Amit was fun to be with, relaxed but professional, and always engaged. Now, several years later, and with college behind us, we remain good friends. For someone his age, he has a uniquely mature outlook and singular drive to succeed. Undoubtedly, my life has been enriched by my relationship with this truly exemplary young man."
