In a bid to enhance the company’s capital transactions, Savills has made some strategic staffing changes.
Savills Australia and New Zealand have announced a new national capital markets team, which is set to strengthen the brand’s services within “property transactions, capital movements brokerage, and cross-border transactions”.
This new team will notably include established Savills personnel. Michael Pisano will step into the role of national director, capital transactions, as of 1 October, and join established team member and national director, capital transactions at Savills Australia and New Zealand, Ben Azar.
Pisano previously served as national director, valuations and advisory at Savills. Into this new role, the company highlighted he would bring “a wealth of experience and deep industry knowledge” from his background in senior agency and institutional client-side roles.
Azar was described by the firm as as a “longstanding senior leader in the Savills team” with 20 years experience in the company, and was recently promoted from state director, capital transactions, to his current national director position for his “exceptional” track record of navigating the complexities of capital transactions for national and institutional clients.
Speaking on the new team, Azar relayed that the “initiative reflects months of strategic planning and a deep understanding of the capital markets across all sectors”.
“Our approach ensures every client conversation is meaningful, with every decision supported by the finest expertise available here, and globally,” he said.
Savills further relayed that the revised team will be supported by a “broad spectrum of capabilities”, including Savills analyst Ruth Corby, and director Adrian Bokolis who the company highlighted will provide a globalised approach through his experience as a key member of its global cross-border investments team.
Paul Craig, CEO at Savills Australia and New Zealand, described the new team as representing a “significant evolution in how we approach capital transactions”.
“As the market becomes more globalised and sophisticated, so too does our strategy,” said Craig.
“By harnessing the full breadth of Savill’s global capabilities, with dedicated local resources, we’re not only meeting the growing demands of our clients but providing them with the critical insights and depth of expertise they need to make informed decisions in an increasingly complex environment,” the CEO concluded.
