Internationally, WDP and VGP own and develop a combined portfolio of more than 15 million sqm of logistics and industrial space, including over 3 million sqm in Romania.
"Dana brings first-hand knowledge of Romania's industrial and logistics sector, gained over two decades in both consultancy and the development and management of industrial parks. This combination is particularly valuable as Romania, Hungary and Southeastern Europe increasingly feature in our conversations with clients," said Daniel Bienias, Managing Director CEE, CBRE.

"Dana knows this department from the inside, has closed some of the largest industrial and logistics transactions in Romania over the past 15 years, and her expertise makes a particular difference in projects that deliver genuine added value, such as manufacturing facilities and complex, specialised operations," said Răzvan Iorgu, Managing Director, CBRE Romania.
"I have chosen to continue my career in real estate consultancy in a regional role with direct responsibility for a rapidly expanding market: more than 1.6 million sqm are currently under construction in Romania, Hungary and Serbia alone. My objective is clear: to strengthen CBRE's position in industrial and logistics transactions across the entire region," said Dana Bordei, Head of Industrial and Logistics CBRE Romania and Head of Industrial and Logistics Strategic Client Development CEE South, CBRE.
