Orr spent almost 30 years at Jones Lang LaSalle, including seven years as European CEO and three years as a main board director of publicly-listed Jones Lang LaSalle.
For four years, he was managing director of International Capital Group, the business within Jones Lang LaSalle responsible for developing cross-border relationships with international investors seeking real estate products. Orr has worked extensively across Europe, especially in Germany and France, including six years as country manager of Germany for JLL, and is therefore well placed to work closely with Hawkpoint's offices in Paris and Frankfurt.
Orr also serves as senior adviser to Europa Feldberg, a joint venture set up to launch and create core property funds on behalf of German institutions, and as adviser to Lewis Trust Group, owners of River Island fashion group. He also sits on the Investment Advisory Committee of Wainbridge Global Opportunities London Limited, a new fund backed by high net worth investors.
Hawkpoint Partners Limited is the corporate advisory arm of the Collins Stewart Group. It is active throughout Europe in advising corporates, financial institutions, private equity houses, governments and quasi-governmental bodies.
