UK-based real estate investment manager has named Anthony Butler as its first head of industrial and logistics Europe.
Butler will take up the newly-created role in March. Based in London, he will report to AEW’s European CEO Vanessa Roux-Collet.
Butler will be responsible for overseeing AEW’s European industrial and logistics funds which currently have assets with a value in excess of €8.3 billion.
