Meyer Bergman has appointed Josip Kardun as chief investment officer to expand the business across mixed-use assets in Europe.
His focus will be to increase Meyer Bergman’s exposure in offices, residential and leisure in core cities.
Kardun was previously chief executive of Blackstone’s largest European operating platform, Multi Corporation, where he managed more than €10bn of assets in 14 countries.
Prior to this he was chief executive at Atrium European Real Estate and spent seven years at German real estate group ECE.
Kardun has 20 years of experience managing pan-European real estate investments, spanning large-scale acquisitions, asset management, property management and growing listed firms.
Marcus Meijer, chief executive at Meyer Bergman, said: “Josip brings with him vast experience from the listed real estate and global investment spheres that will play a key role in our expansion.
“His expertise in finance-raising and his knowledge of capital structures, governance and his broad, multi-asset experience will be a huge value-add for all our current and future investors.”
Kardun added: “Meyer Bergman’s vertically integrated platform offers exceptional opportunities to identify attractive off-market investments across core European locations and generate value for its investors.”
