The appointment follows Boris Cappelle stepping down as chairman & CEO Savills France.
Potterton led Savills Ireland for 15 years and was most recently CEO of Savills Italy for three years. He is a highly experienced and respected business leader. He will work alongside the existing leadership team in France to progress the next step in the growth of the business, which will also see the firm move to new larger offices in the summer of 2024.
Said Potterton: 'Savills is a dynamic and evolving company and France is a key focus in order to support our investor and occupier clients. I am really pleased to be involved in the next phase of growth and I very much look forward to working with the team here to support them and their clients.'
Cappelle has led the business since 2019 and was previously head of the investment team having originally joined the company in 2008.
James Sparrow, CEO of Savills UK and EMEA, said: 'I would like to thank Boris for all that he has done for the business. Under his leadership Savills business in France has grown significantly in all areas and has diversified into a full service offering for clients. He departs with my very great thanks for all he has achieved.'
