Praxis has strengthened its team hiring Andrew Robinson as managing director – capital markets, and Rosamund King as chief people officer.
Robinson, who has more than 20 years’ experience of capital markets, joins from Resolution Property where he was managing director, capital markets and investments. Prior to that, he was an investment director at Lipton Rogers Developments and worked for Morgan Stanley for 16 years.
King has taken on the newly created role of chief people officer and will join the five-strong group board led by CEO Mark Harrison, with responsibility for all people functions across the business and implementing a strategic HR framework that aligns with, and propels, Praxis’ growth ambitions.
Robinson said: “I’ve been highly impressed by Praxis’ track record since inception and look forward to taking this to a broader investor base keen to gain exposure to the returns potential from the business’ proven vertically integrated model. The conditions are optimal to pursue Praxis’ ambitious growth plans and I’m excited to bring my expertise to bear and play a meaningful role in achieving these goals.”
King (pictured) added: “I was attracted to Praxis on account of its clearly defined values which permeate throughout the organisation, providing me with the challenge of ensuring the business’ identity remains intact as it scales. It’s hugely exciting to take on this role during a period of rapid expansion, leading initiatives that drive employee engagement and performance, whilst promoting an environment for people to develop their careers that cements Praxis as a destination for top talent.”
James Hewitt, COO of Praxis, said: “We are delighted to welcome Andrew and Rosamund to the team as we position the business to take advantage of our strong pipeline of identified opportunities across the UK commercial real estate market. As we grow, Rosamund will play an important role in protecting the resilience of our corporate structure whilst preserving the business’ unique culture and character.
“With solid foundations already in place, Andrew’s addition to our capital markets team will be integral to attracting new capital and developing valuable relationships. I am delighted to welcome these two high calibre professionals on board.”
