Valor Real Estate Partners has promoted Cane Napolitano to the role of managing partner and chief investment officer.
Napolitano who joined Valor at its inception in 2016 from IDI Gazeley, was appointed partner and head of investments in June 2019. In his new role he will work alongside Christian Jamison, chief executive officer and managing partner, to lead the growth of Valor’s platform across Europe, as it looks to double its AUM to €6bn in the next three years.
Jamison said: “Cane has been central to the growth of Valor over the past seven years, overseeing the rapid aggregation of a best in class pan-European last mile portfolio. I look forward to continuing to work closely together as we expand and optimise the platform. The promotion is a testament to our meritocratic culture, where mentorship and organic growth are engrained in our ethos.”
Napolitano added: “I am proud to have been part of the team establishing Valor as the fastest growing urban logistics platform in Europe and we remain fully focused on continuing that trajectory. Strengthening our highly analytical and data-led investment capacity across Europe will be integral to remaining at the forefront of last mile logistics as consumer led e-commerce patterns continue to evolve. Having worked closely with Christian over the years, I am thrilled to take on the position of managing partner and CIO and I am confident we will build on our market leading position and capitalise on sectoral dislocations through the use of this technology.”
