Hines has appointed John Carr as its new chief financial officer for Europe, succeeding David Braaten in the role.
Carr joined Hines in 1997, becoming regional controller for the American west region.
He moved to Beijing between 2006 and 2011 when his role was broadened to include Hines’ Asia Pacific business, before returning to the US.
He continued to serve both regional operations ahead of his appointment to the firm’s European leadership team.
Carr replaces Braaten, who is retiring after 30 years. Since joining in 1994, Braaten has served in various financial and operational roles in several international cities including New York, Barcelona, London, and Luxembourg City.
Carr said he is stepping into a new challenge at “a pivotal time for Hines”, adding: “Hines has been active in Europe for more than 30 years and I have watched closely during my own 27 years at the firm – from roles in the US and Asia – as it has grown to become one of the largest and most respected real estate investors on the continent.”
