CBRE has appointed agribusiness professional David Goodfellow to head its capital markets – agribusiness team.
Goodfellow’s appointment follows the resignation of Danny Thomas last month.
Goodfellow brings over 30 years of experience including CEO positions with Rifa Salutary, Paraway Pastoral Company and AustOn Corporation, the Australian-based operating arm of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. He has also served as group general manager for Elders Rural Services, Australia.
CBRE Australia & New Zealand CEO Phil Rowland said this appointment highlights CBRE’s strong and ongoing commitment to the agribusiness property sector.
CBRE’s head of capital markets Mark Coster said Goodfellow was a dynamic leader with a deep understanding of the agriculture industry, negotiating complex business transactions and building effective sales teams.
His appointment coincides with strong ongoing interest in Australia’s agribusiness sector, driven by both domestic and offshore investors.
