PATRIZIA taps esteemed leaders for CEO designate, COO roles

PATRIZIA has tapped Asoka Wöhrmann, the former CEO of DWS Group, and Slava Shafir, a former operating partner at Corsair Capital, in a move to shore up its global growth ambitions.

Wöhrmann will serve as CEO designate, and Shafir will step into the role of COO.

Wöhrmann will step into the role immediately and will become sole CEO after a short transition period to lead the next growth phase of PATRIZIA’s diversified real assets platform. Shafir will assume responsibility as PATRIZIA’s newly created COO function, effective June 1.

“Both leaders complement our existing leadership team to successfully manage our next growth phase as a leading global real assets player,” said Wolfgang Egger, founder and CEO of PATRIZIA. “This, in turn, will allow me to concentrate on strategic client relations and the strategic development of the company also in my role as a member of the board of directors in the future. I remain fully committed to PATRIZIA as founder
