European logistics specialist Delin Capital Asset Management (DCAM) has appointed Anthony Butler as chief investment officer.
Based in DCAM’s London office, Butler will work alongside managing director Ekaterina Avdonina and finance director Andy Colman, with responsibility for implementing DCAM’s investment decisions across its key markets, as well as driving inward investment to support the business’ ambitious growth plans.
He brings nearly 30 years of international real estate experience. Prior to joining DCAM he spent two years at Generali Real Estate as global co-head of Investment Transactions and global head of Indirect Investments, managing and executing the global acquisition and sales strategy, as well as overseeing the indirect property portfolio.
For six years before that he set up and latterly ran TIAA-CREF’s UK and European platform, growing the business to £3 bn of assets under management. He was also instrumental in merging the business to help create TH Real Estate.
In 2008 he set up AIM, an independent Property Investment and Asset Management Company. Earlier roles include head of European Asset Management at MGPA (now Blackrock) and head of Asset Management, UK, at RREEF (now Deutsche Asset Management). He also has experience working for the major real estate consultancies Donaldson’s (now DTZ) and Hillier Parker (now CBRE).
Ekaterina Avdonina, managing director of DCAM, commented: 'We have ambitious plans to rapidly grow the business in 2018 and Anthony will play a key role in delivering this.'
