CBRE Investment Management (CBRE IM) has appointed Paul White as head of the CBRE Europe Value Partners series, the firm’s flagship EMEA value-add strategy.
White, who has more than 20 years of experience investing across all major real estate sectors, joins CBRE IM from Hines, where he most recently served as fund manager for Hines European Real Estate Partners (HEREP), the firm’s value-add series. Prior to joining Hines, White held positions at Nomura and PwC.
In his new role, he will lead the growth of the Europe Value Partners series, with responsibility for investment strategy, portfolio construction, capital deployment and investment performance. White will join CBRE IM in October 2026 and will be based in the firm’s London office.
Andrew Glanzman, co-CEO of CBRE IM, said: “Paul brings an outstanding track record of building and scaling value-add strategies across Europe. We have a strong business in EMEA, and this appointment builds on that foundation as we continue to invest in top talent and strengthen our ability to deliver differentiated solutions for our clients.”
Rik Eertink, president and CIO, EMEA direct real estate for CBRE IM, added: “We are thrilled Paul is joining the CBRE IM team. Paul deeply understands the European investment opportunity and how to capture it in today’s market. He is a transformational leader who will leverage the broad capabilities of CBRE’s platform to create a truly differentiating value proposition for our clients at scale in EMEA, consistent with our successful enhanced-return strategies in other regions and globally.”
White said: “CBRE Investment Management’s position as a pure-play real assets investor, combined with the scale, connectivity, and market intelligence of the broader CBRE platform, creates a differentiated advantage and exciting value proposition for clients. CBRE IM is clearly a powerhouse in direct core investing in Europe. There is an exciting opportunity for the firm to grow its non-core direct investing activity in the region, and I am honoured to play a leading role in that expansion.”
