Cording Real Estate Group has appointed Merel Versteegh to its industrial team in Amsterdam as fund financial controller.
Versteegh's role will include working on Cording's newly launched open-ended Euro Industrial Real Estate Fund, which was launched in April to invest in light industrial and small logistic assets in eurozone countries. The fund has a core-plus risk profile and is aimed at institutional investors.
Before joining Cording, Versteegh worked at CBRE Global Investors as a senior fund secretary in the fund legal services team, handling legal, tax and financial matters relating to various Dutch and European real estate funds with a combined value of more than €3 bn. She was also involved in the restructuring and establishment of funds and quarterly and year-end reporting.
She has also worked in PWC's M&A team and as a tax lawyer at Loyens & Loeff in Amsterdam.
Theo Soeters, fund manager of the Cording Euro Industrial Real Estate Fund, said: 'Merel’s track record and experience in the profession are second to none and we are very pleased to have her on board to support our growing industrial fund and our Dutch real estate team.'
