Cushman & Wakefield has appointed three senior leaders to newly created positions in its combined Asia-Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa 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".
James Young is promoted to president – markets, APAC & EMEA, a role with ultimate responsibility for specific service lines spanning different geographies, including capital markets, leasing, tenant representation, valuation, and asset services, as well as sectors including offices, retail, logistics and industrial, and living. Young has been with the firm 35 years, holding a variety of leadership roles across both regions.
Tom Gibson is appointed president – project and development services and sustainability, APAC & EMEA. Gibson will be responsible for those services across the combined business. His expanded role also includes the continued responsibility for data centres.
Emma Rossetti expands her role to head of operations APAC & EMEA. She will be responsible for simplifying business processes, improving efficiency and driving economies of scale, allowing frontline leaders to focus more time on clients and revenue growth.
Bouw, who is chief executive, APAC & EMEA, said in a statement: “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.”
