Angus Dodd is to replace Max James as chief executive of Quintain.
Dodd, the current chairman of the company and senior managing director and co-head of European real estate at Lone Star, will take over on 27 June.
The move follows Lone Star’s take private of Quintain last year.
Olivier Brahin, president of Lone Star in Europe, will become chairman of Quintain and Simon Carter, who joined Quintain from British Land in 2015, will remain as chief financial officer. James is to remain a consultant to the business.
Quintain has also recruited Sir David Higgins, the former chief executive of Network Rail, and Ricky Burdett, founder and director of LSE Cities and Urban Age, as senior advisors.
Dodd said: “I look forward to leading the continuing transformation of Wembley Park, one of Europe’s biggest regeneration projects.
“Quintain is committed to playing a key part in the next phase of the development of this unique part of London. This includes building new and affordable homes for sale as well as for rent, through Tipi, our PRS management business. The new homes will be complemented by an exciting and attractive mix of cultural, performance, sport, play, public realm, office and retail spaces.”
James added: “It has been a real pleasure working with the Lone Star team and I feel now is the right time to step down as chief executive after five years. I want to thank all employees for all their support, hard work and dedication, and I look forward to working closely with Angus, Olivier and the rest of the board to ensure the continued success of Quintain, especially Wembley Park.”
