BNP Paribas Real Estate has appointed Thierry Bougeard as head of logistics and industrial, taking over from Anita Simaza.
Reporting to Larry Young, head of BNP Paribas RE’s international investment group (IIG), Bougeard will be based in Barcelona.
Vaunting 30 years of experience in the sector, Bougeard is charged with coordinating the European logistics business, including investment, rentals and sales, alongside the local teams of BNP Paribas RE. His mandate also covers the EMEA region.
Bougeard began his career in 1990 as a consultant before becoming head of the industrial and logistics department of Auguste Thouard in Paris (which later became BNP Paribas RE). He then took over the management of this business in Spain in 2010 and was appointed general manager of BNP Paribas RE advisory in Spain in 2014.
Said Young: 'Logistics is a key sector for BNP Paribas Real Estate and one of the cornerstones of its development, strengthened by the growth of e-commerce and the resulting real estate requirements.
'Thanks to his experience, his market knowledge and his international exposure, Thierry is set to make a major contribution to achieving the company’s growth targets on capital markets as well as setting up solid coverage of investors at the pan-European level.'
