Pan-European developer HB Reavis has appointed George Leslie as its new head of investment management.
In this new role, Leslie will lead and grow HB Reavis’ Investment Management business and support the company’s international expansion plans.
'We are very pleased to have George on board. His appointment will help us expand our capabilities in relation to product offerings designed for institutional fund investors,' said Marian Herman, CFO of HB Reavis Group. 'His extensive range of expertise working with top-tier banks, investment funds and limited partners concerning investment management, origination, operations and governance related matters will be instrumental in our mission to deliver well designed real estate solutions to a broader scope of institutional partners.'
'I’m thrilled to be joining a dynamic organisation of this scale that is moving the frontier of its business from CE into Western European markets; namely UK and Germany, with an ambitious and highly competitive approach,' commented Leslie. 'What this company has achieved during its recent years of transition, in terms of leadership, organizational change, financial performance and governance is impressive to say the least.'
Leslie has eighteen years of experience in Europe with a focus mostly on CE, including a role as head of CEE at GLL and head of CEE Restructuring for KPMG. In 2009, he established his own company, Resolution Capital Management, to provide cross-border capital recovery services to financial institutions.
