LaSalle Investment Management has appointed Beverley Kilbride as its chief operating officer for Europe.
Formerly head of transactions and asset management for Europe, Kilbride will lead operations across the investment manager’s European team, with her remit comprising sustainability, asset management, operations, digital projects and capital markets. She will focus on integrating and implementing strategic operational efficiencies across all European investments, assets and funds.
She will also become the chair of LaSalle’s European diversity, equity and inclusion operating committee, succeeding Brian Klinksiek, LaSalle’s global head of research and strategy.
Having joined LaSalle in 2006 from JLL, Kilbride has worked across asset management, acquisitions and fund management. Based in the firm’s Paris office, she spearheaded LaSalle’s return to the Dutch market in 2013 and gained asset management and investment experience overseeing value-add assets across Europe.
After becoming head of transactions and asset management for Europe in 2021, Kilbride oversaw and managed the acquisitions and asset management teams. During this time, she established LaSalle’s European asset management board and specialist European development and repurposing team, with the in-house capability of delivering larger, more complex and higher-return developments.
In her new role, Kilbride will remain head of LaSalle’s French regulated business.
Philip La Pierre, head of Europe for LaSalle, said: “Beverley’s new appointment reflects LaSalle’s continued focus on ensuring the alignment and efficiency of the firm’s operations across Europe and globally.
“Her newly created role will help further drive LaSalle’s investment performance as we continue to embed sustainability considerations across our portfolio. Having been with LaSalle for more than 15 years, Beverley has built a highly successful track record and is instrumental to delivering on our ambitions in Europe on behalf of our clients.”
Kilbride said: “This role offers an exciting opportunity to work closely with our operational, sustainability and investment teams to help drive further transformation across LaSalle’s integrated European and global business.”
