Multi Corporation, Blackstone's European retail property platform, has announced that COO Heino Vink is leaving the company as of 1 September 2017.
Vink held various leadership positions at Multi during his 18-year career with the company, including heading Multi Netherlands and North-Western Europe as managing director until 2011. He joined the Multi board in 2011 and has been COO since 2013.
'I am proud to have been a part of Multi through many phases of its evolution. Multi is an industry leader with professional and inspiring colleagues,' commented Vink. 'After 18 exciting years with the company, it is now time for new challenges. I would like to thank Multi and Blackstone for all their support.'
Since Blackstone acquired Multi in 2013, Vink has helped transition the firm's focus from development to asset management, growing Multi’s asset base and executing the divestment of non-core activities.
'During his long career at Multi, Heino’s many achievements include the realisation of numerous award- winning shopping centres in Europe, some of which are still managed and owned by Multi to this day,' said Josip Kardun, CEO Multi Corporation. 'We would like to take this opportunity to thank Heino for his extremely dedicated service to Multi and we wish him the very best in the future.'
