Paul White
White will be responsible for investment strategy, portfolio construction, capital deployment and investment performance and will be based in the firm’s London office.
He joins from Hines, where he was fund manager for its European Real Estate Partners platform, prior to which he worked at Nomura and PwC.
He has 20 years of experience and over the past 10 has built and led a pan-European value-added platform, overseeing more than €7bn (£6.1bn) of real estate assets under management across funds and separate accounts.
White will report to Rik Eertink, president and CIO, EMEA, direct real estate. Eertink said: “We are thrilled Paul is joining the CBRE IM team. He deeply understands the European investment opportunity and how to capture it in today’s market.
“He is a transformational leader who will leverage the broad capabilities of CBRE’s platform to create a truly differentiating value proposition for our clients at scale in EMEA, consistent with our successful enhanced-return strategies in other regions and globally.”
White added: “CBRE IM’s position as a pure-play real assets investor, combined with the scale, connectivity, and market intelligence of the broader CBRE platform, creates a differentiated advantage and exciting value proposition for clients.
“There is an exciting opportunity for the firm to grow its non-core direct investing activity in the region, and I am honoured to play a leading role in that expansion.”
