He has been instrumental in shaping and developing our corporate finance team and capabilities since he joined us from Deutsche Bank three years ago.”
Christian Hepp said, “The sheer weight of capital targeting real estate and the intricacies of the EMEA investment landscape present very specific opportunities and challenges for investors. By combining dedicated corporate finance advice with market-leading experience across all aspects of real estate we are able to provide tailor-made solutions for our clients, wherever they may be. I’m delighted to take on this broader role at such an evolutionary time.”
