Global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield has appointed Agnieszka Bobela-Musiał, an expert with over 15 years of experience at the firm, as Head of Asset Services Retail. She will work in tandem with Emilia Załuska, who has been named Deputy Head. The new leadership duo will head a team responsible for managing a portfolio of retail assets totalling nearly 560,000 sqm.
The introduction of a two-member leadership structure forms part of a broader transformation of the Asset Services team, designed to even better align services with the rapidly evolving needs of the retail market and the expectations of property owners. The new management model is based on the synergy of many years of in-house experience and operational practice in managing key retail assets across Poland.
“The retail market is currently in a phase of stabilisation, requiring asset managers to continuously seek new ways to enhance efficiency and to act proactively to build asset value. The appointment of Agnieszka and Emilia to lead Asset Services Retail is a natural step in the evolution of our structure and the development of our managerial team. I am confident that the combination of their unique skill sets – Agnieszka’s strategic insight and deep knowledge of our organisation and Emilia’s operational excellence – will enable us to operate even more efficiently. This leadership duo guarantees premium quality, proactiveness and security for our clients in an era full of challenges,” comments Zuzanna Paciorkiewicz, Head of Asset Services CEE, Cushman & Wakefield.
