MIPIM organiser RX has appointed Dan Cook as director for the UK and Ireland built environment markets.
Cook, who was most recently CEO and a trustee of the research and technology association Active Building Centre (ABC), will play a pivotal role in advancing the MIPIM and MAPIC events.
Prior to ABC, Cook was a CEO of the Landscape Institute and director of strategy and planning for the Royal Institution of Charted Surveyors.
Cook said: “It’s a really exciting time to be joining the team behind the most important events on the real estate calendar. At MIPIM and MAPIC I hope to lead the way by sharing insight, future trends and highlighting best practice, as we seek new ways to address the biggest issues facing global cities.
“There is a fantastic opportunity to build on the success of MIPIM 2023 for the UK and Irish markets to create new collaborative partnerships, particularly between the public and private sector, whilst helping to connect those seeking to work together to build their businesses.”
Filippo Rean, managing director at RX France, added: “Dan Cook’s appointment marks an exciting chapter in the growth and development of MIPIM and MAPIC, as he leads the charge in shaping the future of the built environment in the UK and Ireland.
“His passion for the future of cities and his extensive international experience make him exceptionally well-suited to connect cities, regions, governments, third-sector organisations, and industry leaders within the built environment, investment, and professional services sectors.”
