The news: Property investor Dexus has announced its funds management CEO has stepped down while it has appointed a growth markets leader.
The context: After 11 years, Dexus' funds management head Deborah Coakley has stepped down from the role to pursue another opportunity. The property investors said it would undertake an internal and external recruitment process to replace Coakley.
Meanwhile, it has appointed AustralianSuper global head of real assets Nik Kemp in its newly created role of executive general manager of growth markets. Kemp was at the superannuation fund for over 11 years. He will be tasked with supporting Dexus’ existing expansions, including into infrastructure, healthcare, and alternative investments.
The company has also appointed Macquarie veteran Marjan van der Burg as its chief people officer.
Dexus faltered on the ASX last month after it announced a $383 million divestment of property assets.
What they said: “Nik and Marjan will join the Dexus Executive Committee, supporting our focus on leadership in real assets and driving investment performance,” said CEO and managing director Ross Du Vernet.
“I would like to thank Deborah for her significant contribution and wish her all the best for the future.”
