Paref, the French REIT being taken over by Chinese conglomerate Fosun, has named Julien Renaud-Perret as chief business development officer and Antoine Onfray as chief financial officer.
Renaud-Perret was previously managing director hospitality Europe for the Fosun Group. Prior joining Fosun he was successively chief development officer of Aman Resort, chief development officer at Orascom and chief business development officer of the Club Méditerranée Group.
Onfray began his career at the Société Générale’s Inspection Department. In 2010, he joined Unibail-Rodamco where he became head of finance, treasury and investor relations, before moving to Eurosic in 2016 as deputy chief financial officer.
Their appointments follow on from the naming of Adrien Blanc as Paref's deputy chief executive officer at the beginning of November.
Antoine Castro, CEO of Paref and head of European Investments at Fosun Properties Holdings, said: 'These appointments reflect our ambitions and confirm our willingness to continue satisfying our investor clients and to grow the PAREF Group.'
Fosun owns 51% of Paref's share capital and intends to mount a full takeover bid for the company by the end of the year. Paref has €1.3 bn of French real estate under management.
