NEW YORK and LONDON and TORONTO and TOKYO, July 1, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
BentallGreenOak (BGO), a global real estate investment management advisor,
today announced the appointment of John Carrafiell to co-CEO and member of the
Board of Directors for BentallGreenOak, effective July 1, 2021. John joins
Sonny Kalsi as co-Chief Executive Officer, and alongside Amy Price, president
of BGO, the three leaders will form the firm's Global Executive Team.
"I am excited for the opportunity to work with our team across
BentallGreenOak's global real estate investment management and services
platform, and honored to co-lead our team into the future alongside Sonny, Amy
and the rest of our global leadership team," said John Carrafiell, co-CEO of
BentallGreenOak. "Our business is only becoming more global - with
unprecedented secular trends driving investment strategies across markets and
clients increasingly looking for global solutions. By unifying our global
executive team, we are further positioning BGO to be in lock-step with this
evolution."
John will be based in the U.S. with global responsibilities as co-CEO, while
continuing to oversee BGO's European business. Based in Europe since 1989, John
co-founded GreenOak Real Estate (GreenOak) in 2010, which grew to $12B (USD) of
assets under management with investment management activity in 10 countries.
Following the merger of GreenOak and Bentall Kennedy, in July 2019, to form
BentallGreenOak, John has served as Senior Managing Partner with oversight for
the firm's European Business.
"John's appointment to co-CEO of BentallGreenOak is a natural progression and
important step forward for the firm," said Steve Peacher, Chairman of the Board
for BentallGreenOak and President of SLC Management, the alternatives asset
management business of Sun Life and majority owner of BentallGreenOak. "In just
two and a half years, BGO has grown substantially since the merger - from $47
billion to $62 billion (USD) in AUM - most significantly in the European
market. We are delighted to formally bring John's strategic insights and
leadership to BGO's global platform and welcome him to the board as co-CEO."
"John and I have worked together for over 25 years and I'm eager to begin this
new chapter in our firm's future alongside him as co-CEO," said Sonny Kalsi,
co-CEO of BentallGreenOak. "Since joining forces as co-founders of GreenOak
Real Estate 11 years ago, John has led our European team, who have been
consistently ahead of the curve in building a pan-European debt business and
bringing an early, sharp focus on the logistics sector. BGO has become a market
leader in Europe under John's leadership and strategic direction."
"John's expanded leadership as co-CEO will extend the impact of his deep,
global investment management experience gained over his 34-year career," said
Amy Price, president of BentallGreenOak. "John is already bringing considerable
energy and insight to the global team's investment strategies across our Core,
Core Plus and Value Add platforms. "
