Savills has restructured the leadership of its Private Office, appointing Rory McMullen as co-head alongside existing co-head Alex Christian.
Savills Private Office comprises 25 real estate specialists based across a number of international locations, advising high-net-worth individuals, family offices and their advisers on property transactions.
McMullen, currently head of the North America desk, has worked at Savills for more than a decade and advises clients on cross-border transactions.
Christian, a London-based specialist in the super-prime market, will continue in his role as co-head.
McMullen said: “Our clients are more globally agile and transient than ever. The Savills Private Office is uniquely positioned to provide advice across the full spectrum of their real estate requirements, wherever they may be in the world. We plan to strategically expand the team in key wealth hubs, and to align ourselves with our existing Cross Border Investment teams around the world.”
Christian added: “What sets the Savills Private Office apart is that its members are not only experts in global wealth flows, but are also deeply embedded in their local markets, with vast experience and expertise. From the UK to Europe, Middle East and Asia, we have the unique ability to seamlessly, and discreetly, service international capital as it moves between key global property markets.”
