German listed shopping centre specialist Deutsche EuroShop has announced the appointment of Hans-Peter Kneip as new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) while the search continues for a new Chief Executive Officer.

Between 2012 and 2014, Hans-Peter Kneip was responsible for the finance department of GSW Immobilien as head of Corporate Finance and played a leading role in the merger with Deutsche Wohnen. He began his professional career in 2005 at Société Générale corporate and investment banking.
