Ghazal, who will be based in New York City, will serve as senior managing director and global head of growth, initially focusing on identifying and executing acquisition and development opportunities in the Middle East and expanding the firm’s existing presence in India.
He will be a member of Tishman Speyer’s global investment committee and report directly to CEO Rob Speyer.
Ghazal spent more than two decades in senior leadership roles spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas at global logistics giant Prologis. Most recently, he served as global CIO, overseeing investment strategy, capital deployment and business development, having previously held the role of CIO for Europe.
