LaSalle Investment Management has hired Karim Habra for the newly created role of head of Continental Europe with immediate effect.
He was previously head of France at LaSalle and will continue to be based in Paris. Habra will be responsible for the acquisitions, asset management and fund management teams across all of Continental Europe.
This newly created role, where Habra will continue to report to the chief executive for Europe, Simon Marrison, removes the country head structure on the Continent, which is consistent with the structure of the firm’s pan-European funds and will encourage further cooperation and efficiencies across all of its teams.
