Grosvenor has appointed Mie Caroline Holstad and Guillaume Cassou as non‑executive directors of Grosvenor Diversified Property Investments (GDPI) with effect from September.
Holstad (pictured) is currently a senior adviser at Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and previously served as chief investment officer for real assets at Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM).
Cassou has more than 25 years’ experience across European real estate investment, fund management and portfolio oversight. He spent more than a decade at KKR, most recently as partner and head of European real estate, where he founded and led the firm’s European real estate platform across equity and debt.
James Raynor, CEO of Grosvenor Property, said: “I am delighted to welcome Mie and Guillaume to the board of Grosvenor Diversified Property Investments. Their combined experience across global real estate, capital markets, infrastructure and sustainability will add significant strength and breadth to the board as we continue to pursue an international diversification strategy and grow the business with an ambition for this to account for more than a quarter of Grosvenor’s balance sheet.
“I would also like to thank Olivier Piani for his valuable contribution during his time on this board and previously on that of our European business. He has been a wonderful adviser and his insight and perspective over the years have been greatly appreciated.”
