Reporting to Olivier Delay, global head of real assets, Verhoosel will be based in Natixis’ head office in Paris. 

His appointment to this newly-created role is part of Natixis’ strategy to become the 'go-to bank' in four areas of corporate investment banking. 'By creating this role, and appointing Emmanuel with his extensive international experience and expertise, we are underlining our intent to strengthen our dialogue with our clients in the real estate and hospitality sector, and accompany them as their strategic partner of choice,' commented Olivier Delay.
