KSP has appointed Mark Krol from PATRIZIA as executive director – investment management.
At PATRIZIA, Krol helped to oversee and expand the GLi investment platform – an industrial joint venture between KSP and PATRIZIA.
Prior to PATRIZIA, Krol spent two years at Prologis in Amsterdam and two years at JLL in London where he gained extensive expertise across value-add investment strategies, development and the full investment lifecycle.
Krol said: “KSP is not afraid to think differently, react quickly and use its on-the-ground knowledge and pragmatic approach to drive performance and deliver for clients. This is what sets the business apart and I’m keen to play a part in this culture and help it continue to grow.
“Having worked alongside the KSP team for years, I’ve seen how ambitious the business is and that it is committed to developing well-designed projects that move the dial on sustainability. There is now a real opportunity to grow our client base, expand our geographical reach and bring fresh thinking to how we manage and develop assets.”
David Johnson, chief executive officer of KSP, added: “Mark is strengthening our KSP team at a pivotal moment in the company’s growth. His leadership will help drive momentum across our industrial pipeline and, in addition, improve delivery of upcoming projects. His experience across logistics, investment and development, alongside his hands-on involvement with GLi, means he understands exactly what we are trying to achieve and the growth we’re targeting. It also means his transition into the business has been seamless. I’m looking forward to working closely with him.”
