LaSalle Investment Management, the global real estate investment manager, has promoted Katie Hynard and Marc Fauchille to Head of UK Commercial Asset Management and Head of Development & Repurposing, Europe, respectively.
In their new roles, Katie will also become the Chair of LaSalle’s newly created European Asset Management Board, and Marc will become one of the Board’s members and lead the specialist European Development and Repurposing platform, a newly created pillar of LaSalle’s European asset management function focused on larger, more complex and higher-return developments.
The new European Asset Management Board will fully integrate LaSalle’s geographical, sector and development asset management expertise across the wide range of European markets and sectors in which it invests – optimising asset performance and managing its portfolio according to the highest Environmental, Social and Governance standards.
The enhanced asset management cross-border capabilities provided by the Board will complement LaSalle’s leading pan-European, full-service client offer and strategic focus on investing in best-in-class assets in growing markets.
Katie has been at LaSalle for 10 years, previously as an Asset Manager and Senior Operations Manager in Europe. She will now be responsible for the management of LaSalle’s commercial sector assets across the UK and, as Chair of the European Asset Management Board, for driving business-wide growth initiatives and delivering efficiencies across the pan-regional asset management strategy.
