Valor appoints former Brookfield executive as SVP to drive pan-European expansion

Valor Real Estate Partners has appointed Matt Ganas as senior vice president.

Ganas, who will be based in London, will be responsible for accelerating Valor’s investment activity outside of its existing core markets, with an initial focus on the Netherlands and Italy.

Ganas joins Valor from Brookfield, where he was head of transactions, with responsibility for pan-European logistics activity. He previously spent three years at Logicor as director of transactions, overseeing the Netherlands and Southern Europe markets.

“The expansion into the Dutch and Italian markets is a natural evolution given that the structural drivers underpinning the growth of the last mile logistics sector look highly attractive” said Cane Napolitano, head of investment at Valor. “With a track record of being first movers into supply constrained and highly fragmented markets, there is an opportunity to replicate our success to date, leveraging Matt’s deep local market knowledge
