Tim commented: “As global occupier requirements become increasingly complex, we’re very pleased to bring Philipp on board to lead across EMEA.

“He brings with him a huge amount of experience and is expertly placed to drive our expansion in the region.

“Our occupier platform has been on a dynamic journey of growth and transformation over the last few years.

“Along with geographical expansion, we’ve evolved the service offering, regularly securing multi-market mandates and household name accounts.

“Under Philipp’s leadership, we have the people, platform and offering to accelerate and fulfil our ambitious expansion goals across Europe.”
