CBRE Investment Management adjusts leadership structure for EMEA Direct Real Estate

10 December 2025

CBRE Investment Management has announced changes to the leadership structure of its EMEA Direct Real Estate business. The firm says the adjustments are intended to support the continued scaling of its integrated investor-operator platform and to strengthen investment execution.

Under the revised model, Rik Eertink will take on the role of President and Chief Investment Officer for EMEA Direct Real Estate. He has served as President of the division for the past five years.

“This evolved model leverages the strengths of our platform and positions us to enhance investment performance for our clients,” said Adam Gallistel, Co-CEO and CIO of CBRE IM.

Eertink will work with four senior leaders who are assuming expanded responsibilities within the EMEA Direct Real Estate business: Hannah Marshall, Bas Tiemstra, Jan-Willem Bastijn and Niels Kokkeel.

“The elevation of top talent is a priority focus area for us,” said Andy Glanzman, Co-CEO and President of CBRE IM. “This team has deep experience, strong track records and a shared commitment to delivering differentiated outcomes for our clients.”

The company also confirmed that Paul Gibson is leaving to take up a senior position elsewhere in the European real estate sector. CBRE IM expressed its appreciation for his contributions to the business.
