Cushman & Wakefield has announced a planned leadership transition in Germany, with Pierre Nolte to succeed Tina Reuter as Country Head on 1 August following the successful repositioning of the business and implementation of a new operating model.
Reuter is promoted to President – Strategic Accounts & Sales, EMEA, responsible for driving the firm’s account management of investor and occupier key clients across the EMEA region. Reuter has spent the past 18 months as Head of Germany, successfully repositioning the business and implementing a new operating model.
In her new role she will leverage her relationships with key players in the global and European real estate markets, having previously led the firm’s Asset Services EMEA business delivering services including property management, operational asset management and ESG consulting.
Pierre Nolte succeeds Reuter as Head of Germany. He will continue to perform his current duties as Head of Office & Leasing Germany until further notice. Nolte has a track record of leading high-performing teams, winning major instructions and delivering standout transactions. This includes securing the European Central Bank as anchor tenant at CapitaLand’s Gallileo building in Frankfurt, a landmark c.38,000 sq m deal led by Nolte.
Matthew Bouw, Chief Executive, APAC & EMEA, Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Tina’s strategic thinking and proven track record in delivering exceptional advice, solutions and services to our clients equip her perfectly to step into this critical new role. Having evolved our Asset Services EMEA business into a core service line and successfully repositioned our business in Germany, she will now be responsible for bringing the full value of our global platform to our largest clients in the EMEA region."
“I’m delighted to confirm Pierre as Tina’s successor as Head of Germany. He is one of the foremost advisers in Germany with an enterprise mindset and is highly regarded by clients and colleagues alike. I look forward to working with them both in key leadership positions in our combined APAC & EMEA business, as we bring the best of Cushman & Wakefield globally to our local markets.”
Tina Reuter, President – Strategic Accounts & Sales, EMEA, Cushman & Wakefield, said: “I’d like to thank all my colleagues in Germany for embracing the repositioning of our German business which has established solid foundations for the next phase of growth under Pierre. Clients are my passion and evolving how we do things to support them better has been a feature of my career. I’m excited to continue this work in this new regional role serving some our largest global clients.”
Pierre Nolte, Head of Germany, Cushman & Wakefield, said: “It is a great honour to be entrusted to lead Cushman & Wakefield in Germany. We have a clear vision following our repositioning, and the operational platform for growth, and will continue to execute on that for the benefit of our clients, our business, and our people.”
Nolte will continue with client work and business generation alongside his Head of Country responsibilities – with Thomas Schmid also expanding his role to Chief Financial & Operating Officer. Schmid will lead on key operational activities, enabling Nolte to focus primarily on clients.
