AXA IM Alts has bolstered its senior team with three promotions across its global and European real estate business line.
Philippe Grasser, who joined AXA IM Alts in 2021, has been promoted to head of European transactions and will report directly to John O’Driscoll, global co-head of real estate.
While remaining a managing director in AXA IM Alts’ German business, many of Grasser’s responsibilities for German activities will pass to Ulf Bachmann who will become CEO for Germany, alongside his current role of chief transformation officer real estate. Bachmann joined the business in 2018 and in his new role he will report in to O’Driscoll and Isabelle Scemama.
Emilie Jaskula (pictured) has also been appointed to the newly created role of global head of offices within the asset management team. Jaskula has been at AXA IM Alts for almost 12 years, most recently as head of asset management for France. She will report to O’Driscoll.
Her responsibilities will be taken up by Anne-Sophie Humblot-Christophe, who was previously deputy head of asset management in France and will replace Jaskula as head of asset management France.
O’Driscoll said: “We have a clear goal of becoming the indisputable leader in each of our key sectors and have the expertise and portfolio to allow us to achieve this. Today’s promotions reflect the deep pool of talent available to us across our organisation, while underlining our belief that it is the scale of our specialist knowledge in our conviction sectors, both globally and within each of the local markets in which we operate, that both differentiates our offering and enables us to continue to achieve outstanding results for our clients.
“Philippe, Ulf and Emilie have a wealth of experience working in both asset management and transactions across Europe, and I look forward to working with them to continue to drive innovation and returns on behalf of our investors.”
