AEW has promoted Bianca Kraus to the role of head of investor relations Europe.
Kraus joined AEW in 2019 as head of investor relations, Germany, and since 2023 she has led the company’s investor relations for the wider DACH region.
In her new role, she will lead AEW’s European investor relations team, overseeing the firm’s capital raising and client servicing across Europe, and will work closely with Vanessa Roux-Collet, CEO Europe at AEW, to execute AEW’s European growth strategy while ensuring continuity of service for existing clients.
Roux-Collet said: “Investor relations is an integral part of our business strategy and Bianca has played an important role in building and growing strong relationships with our institutional investor clients over the last seven years. Her promotion to head of investor relations Europe is therefore a natural step and I look forward to working with her as we seek to ensure continued exemplar client service and focus on growing our business.”
Kraus added: “Having led AEW’s investor relations in the DACH region for the past few years, I am excited to be expanding my role across Europe, working with the first class team we have in place. We have a clear strategy for growth leveraging our experience across a number of conviction themes where we have deep rooted expertise and can offer clients compelling investment opportunities.”
