British Land has appointed Emma Cariaga as the company’s new chief operating officer.
Cariaga, who was previously joint head of Canada Water, succeeds David Walker who became chief financial officer in November last year.
In her new role, she will manage British Land’s property management, sustainability, digital placemaking, marketing and communications and commercial finance functions. She will also continue to lead the residential business, including at Canada Water.
British Land’s head of development David Lockyer, who oversees all of the company’s development activity, is taking on additional responsibility for the delivery of the Canada Water project alongside Roger Madelin.
Simon Carter, CEO of British Land, said: “I’m pleased to announce Emma Cariaga as our new chief operating officer. Emma has been instrumental in driving the Canada Water project to this point and will bring her extensive operational and leadership experience to her new role.
“With the first phase buildings nearing completion, I am delighted that David will be taking on additional responsibility for the project as part of his role as head of development. As the project becomes more operational, it will thrive under David and Roger’s leadership and benefit from expertise across British Land.”
