JACQUES Gordon will retire from LaSalle Investment Management after 28 years with the firm’s research and strategy group.
Gordon, who is leaving to pursue interests in higher education, will remain as the global head of research and strategy through the remainder of this year, and will be succeeded by Brian Klinksiek, LaSalle’s current head of European research and global portfolio strategies, from the beginning of 2023.
Klinksiek, who joined LaSalle in 2020, will continue to be based in London and will join LaSalle’s global management committee, reporting to CEO Mark Gabbay. Succession for Klinksiek’s current role is in process and will be announced prior to his transition to global leadership in 2023.
“We are grateful for the numerous contributions Jacques has provided LaSalle and the broader industry over the course of his career, and look forward to recognizing these accomplishments in the months ahead. Brian’s professional experience positions him well to take on this role, having lived, worked, and covered the real estate markets in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific,” Gabbay said.
“Jacques has done a remarkable job establishing LaSalle’s reputation for timely insights, accurate forecasts, and impactful strategy that is fully integrated with the investment process,” Klinksiek said.
“He has been a role model for me throughout my career – even before I joined the firm. I am thankful for his guidance and partnership, and look forward to continuing to seek his counsel as he moves into academia.”
