Shopping centre operator Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield has appointed Jean-Marie Tritant as Chairman of the Unibail management board and Group Chief Executive.
Tritant will replace Christophe Cuvillier who will leave the business on 1 January after a short transition phase. Tritant joined Unibail in 1997 as a project manager in the offices division, before later becoming President of the group’s US division.
“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,” URW Chairman of the Supervisory Board of URW SE Léon Bressler 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,” Cuvillier said.
