Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW), the owner of Westfield London and Westfield Stratford, is integrating its operations in the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden into an expanded Northern Europe region.

Vincent Jean-Pierre, who has been with URW for 20 years and most recently led the group’s Offices & Mixed-Use Development division, will lead the region as Chief Operating Officer (COO) Northern Europe, based in URW’s London office. He will be supported by a regional management team located in London, Amsterdam and Stockholm.

The newly combined region includes some of the group’s top performing shopping centres, including both Westfield shopping centres in London as well as Westfield Mall of the Netherlands, Westfield Mall of Scandinavia in Stockholm, and a range of development opportunities that include Coppermaker Square in East London, Croydon in South London, and Amstelveen in the Netherlands.

Jean-Marie Tritant, CEO of Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, said: "The creation of the expanded Northern Europe region supports the continued optimisation of our operations to drive further growth and unlock value across our portfolio of the best assets in the top cities in Europe and the US.

"Vincent will bring his leadership, fresh perspective and diverse experience as we maximise the potential of both our standing assets and future developments."

Vincent Jean-Pierre added: "I’m thrilled to lead our newly established Northern Europe team. With our talented people, fantastic portfolio and development opportunities, we’re set to shape vibrant, sustainable destinations where communities and businesses thrive."
