Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield appoints new chief executive
Shopping centre operator Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield has appointed Jean-Marie Tritant as chairman of the Unibail management board and group chief executive.
He will replace Christophe Cuvillier who will be leaving the business on 1 January following a short transition phase.
Léon Bressler, chairman of the supervisory board of URW SE, said: “A transition phase is beginning for URW. I am delighted that Christophe Cuvillier has agreed to lead it for the group. His long experience as CEO, particularly during the ongoing health and economic crisis, will be very valuable. I am convinced that Jean-Marie will lead the company with great success.”
Tritant joined Unibail in 1997 and was president of the US prior to his promotion.
Cuvillier said: “During this transition phase, I will work as always to protect the group and help it go through this major crisis. I wish every success in his new position to Jean-Marie Tritant, with whom I have worked for close to 10 years. I wish that the group continues to nurture its spirit of innovation and pursues an ambition commensurate with the quality of its teams and assets.”
