Northern European real estate investment and asset management firm Cording Real Estate Group has confirmed the appointment of Rodney Bysh (pictured) as joint chief executive officer.
Mr Bysh will join Peter Dove as joint CEO in order to allow Cording to further expand its growing investment management platform, as his focus will be solely upon the investment management and funds areas of the business. The pair will work closely with executive chairman John Partridge to expand the firm’s management portfolio, which at present is valued at €2.4 billion.
Mr Partridge believes that the appointment will prove beneficial to Cording. He says; “The appointment of Rodney as joint CEO is the result of our significant growth in the business.
“In that time we have increased our assets under management to €2.4 billion and in April this year we expanded our platform into Benelux with the acquisition of Horizon Investment Management.
“Rodney is a hugely experienced and talented individual who will play a significant role alongside Peter in developing and managing our growth.”
Mr Bysh first joined Cording in 2013, just five years after the firm’s establishment, after Frankfurt-based Feldberg Capital merged its real estate investment management activities and team with Cording. Mr Bysh was, at that time, CEO of Feldberg Capital.
This will not be the first time that Mr Bysh and Mr Partridge have worked closely together, however, as during the former’s seven years at Henderson Global Investors, the latter was head of property at the firm.
Following this role, Mr Bysh was appointed to the managing director position at Rothschild, where he was responsible for real estate investment banking in Germany from 2006 to 2008.
Mr Bysh’s promotion is not the only change at Cording’s senior management level, as current head of business development Will Amies has been granted a position on the main board.
In addition, Mr Bysh’s Feldberg Capital colleagues Stephen Schall and Reiner Beckers have also taken up positions on the German board, where they will lead transactions and distribution activities in mainland Europe.
