Meyer Bergman adds to its senior executive team

Meyer Bergman has made key additions to its senior executive team to manage the firm’s growth and broaden its urban mixed-use investment strategy to include “last-mile” logistic properties.

The London-based firm has appointed two new senior managing directors, Lee Purcell as global head of investor relations and Sachin Rupani as head of acquisitions. 

Purcell joins Meyer Bergman from The Carlyle Group, where he was a partner and managing director in the investor relations team. Prior to that Purcell worked for more than a decade as a placement agent at Greenhill & Co. and Credit Suisse. 

Rupani returns to Meyer Bergman, where he worked from 2009 to 2015, following three years at Cale Street Partners. He will be responsible for creating and executing the firm’s European investment strategies.

Marco Riva also joins as senior vice president for Southern Europe with responsibility for future investments in logistic properties across Europe. Riva joins Meyer Bergman from Logicor. He previously worked at Goldman Sachs in Italy and is a graduate of the University of Bologna.​
