Cushman & Wakefield has elevated three senior leaders to newly-created positions in its combined APAC & EMEA business.
The two regions were brought together in May under the leadership of Matthew Bouw, who has established an operating model to drive innovation and value for clients and support growth across the business.
Matthew Bouw, Chief Executive, APAC & EMEA, Cushman & Wakefield, said:
“The process to determine the optimal operating model for delivering our growth agenda has only reinforced the complementary strengths of the two regions and my excitement about the opportunity in front of us. Central to our thinking has been ensuring we enable exceptional advice and execution on the front line by bringing the best of Cushman & Wakefield globally to our local markets. It is a pleasure to elevate these outstanding leaders from across our combined business into roles where they can have the greatest impact.”
