Logistics property developer-investor VGP has appointed David Plzák as country manager for the Czech Republic.
Plzák, who has more than 20 years of experience managing projects and teams in the construction and real estate segment, will take over leadership of VGP's historically oldest branch in Europe.
Although the company currently owns and operates logistics and industrial parks in 11 European countries, it was originally founded in the Czech Republic in 1998. From a small family business, it has gradually grown into a multinational company with more than 300 employees. The task of the new country manager will be to develop further the company’s business activities on the Czech market, including to expand the domestic portfolio of land parcels suitable for construction.
He joins from Segro, where he has been working since 2007, with responsibility for the development of the company’s business activities in the Czech Republic.
The country manager role was previously covered by Matthias Sander who combined the role with his responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer – Central and Eastern Europe. Following the hiring of David Plzák he will be able to fully focus his attention to the COO – CEE responsibilities.
