LASALLE Investment Management has appointed Brian Klinksiek as head of European research and global portfolio strategies.
Based in London, he will report to global and interim Europe CEO Jeff Jacobson, as well as global head of research & strategy Jacques Gordon.
Klinksiek joins LaSalle after spending nearly 17 years in various research and strategy leadership roles at Heitman, with diverse experience across a wide range of markets and property sectors in Europe, North America and Asia. He most recently served as director of strategy & research operations, based in Hong Kong.
Prior to that, he built and managed a new on-the-ground investment strategy and research capability in Europe for a period of 10 years. Klinksiek began his career in Heitman’s North America business, focused on research analysis across a wide range of property types and risk categories.
“We are delighted to welcome Brian to LaSalle, and look forward to his leadership for this new role,” Jacobson said. “I am confident that his wide-ranging experience and impressive track record will enhance our Research & Strategy platform and offer our clients a unique and sound perspective on European and global investment opportunities.”
Gordon added, “Brian’s depth of experience will serve our clients well as we advance through an unprecedented global recession and fragmented recovery,”
Klinksiek said, “I am honoured to be joining LaSalle at a time when both European and global real estate remains a critical allocation for investors. I look forward to building off the impressive foundation and track record LaSalle has established and leveraging my experience to enhance the firm’s investment ideas and capabilities.”
