CBRE Investment Management (CBRE IM) has appointed Alice Wilcox as head of EMEA client solutions.
Wilcox is rejoining CBRE IM from Goldman Sachs Asset Management on 1 November 2026 and will succeed Chris Wood as part of a planned succession process. Wood, who has 30 years of industry experience and has been a senior leader at CBRE IM for 20 years, will remain with the firm and will continue to lead client engagement efforts across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Wilcox, who was managing director and EMEA head of real estate capital formation at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, held senior roles within CBRE IM from 2013 to 2022, including delivering client solutions across real estate and infrastructure in private and public markets
In her new role, she will be responsible for leading CBRE IM’s EMEA client solutions officers team, overseeing capital raising, client engagement and strategic growth initiatives across the region.
Bernie McNamara, head of client solutions at CBRE Investment Management, said: “Alice is an exceptional leader with a deep understanding of our business, our clients and the opportunities across the EMEA market. We are delighted to welcome her back to CBRE IM and look forward to the significant contribution she will make as we continue to deliver real assets solutions to clients.
“We are also thrilled that Chris will continue leading our efforts in the DACH region going forward. We appreciate his ongoing leadership and partnership in setting up the EMEA client solutions officers team for this next phase of evolution, including collaboration in the recruitment of Alice, building on their past strong working relationship.”
Wood added: “As we enter a new market cycle, it felt like the appropriate time to step away from the dual responsibilities of managing the EMEA-wide team and capital raising in the DACH region. Going forward, my energies will be entirely focused on capital raising in the DACH region for some time to come. It has been a privilege to lead this team of professionals over the past few years, and I am proud of the successes and the overall contribution the team has made to our clients and the CBRE IM business.”
Wilcox said: “I am incredibly excited to be returning to CBRE IM. It is a business I know well, with a strong culture, outstanding people and a market-leading real assets platform. Across real estate and infrastructure, CBRE IM has built compelling investment programmes well-positioned to meet investors’ evolving needs. I look forward to working with clients and colleagues across the region to continue delivering solutions that support long-term investment success.”
