Segro, an owner, manager and developer of modern warehouses and industrial property, has appointed Luca Sorbara as head of Italy, responsible for operations in the Italian market.
Sorbara has been Segro’s co-head of Italy since April 2023 during which time he has overseen the full integration of Vailog into Segro following the group’s acquisition of the final 5% of shares in April 2023, as well as a number of strategic acquisitions and disposals.
He joined the company in 2016 and previously held the role of head of development and investment.
The appointment coincides with the end of the integration period and the formal dissolution of Vailog which has become Segro Italy.
Concurrently, Giulio Della Torre has decided to leave the business to take up a new role and professional challenge.
Marco Simonetti, managing director for Continental Europe, Segro, said: 'Luca has played a major role in leading and integrating the former Vailog team into Segro over the last 18 months and I’m very pleased that he has accepted the challenge of continuing to grow and enhance our portfolio in the Italian market.
'Italy is our 4th largest market by value, we have a fantastic technical and asset management team and I’m confident that under Luca’s leadership they can continue to flourish.
'I also want to thank Giulio for his contribution to Segro and for his work with the team to deliver some fantastic developments in our Italian portfolio and we wish him well for the future.'
