Cromwell Property Group has promoted Susan White to the role of chief financial officer, Europe.
White has led the real estate investor and fund manager’s fund finance team for the last four years with responsibility for delivering “significant change and improvement” across the European fund management business.
She has previously held senior finance roles at a number of large financial institutions including the Qatar Sovereign Wealth Fund, Citigroup Property Investors and Marriott International. In her new role she will report in to Pertti Vanhanen, managing director Europe, and work closely with Cromwell’s group CFO, Michael Wilde.
Vanhanen said: “We are delighted to be able to promote someone with such extensive senior finance experience to a key role from within the business. The management team and I look forward to continuing to work with her as we progress our transition to become a capital light investment and fund manager in Europe.”
White added: “This is a great opportunity for me to leverage my experience of leading the fund finance function at Cromwell as we move into the next phase of our growth and development in Europe. Given the ongoing structural changes in the real estate industry and the rapidly evolving economic backdrop of the past few months, this is an extremely exciting time to take on such a role.”
