Cushman & Wakefield has announced new appointments to its Central & Eastern Europe leadership team.

It will also ensure Cushman & Wakefield’s CEE businesses are aligned to capitalize on the increasingly global nature of client requirements and opportunities.

  • Karolina Samczynska-Fislak – Head of Marketing & Bid Management, CEE

Cushman & Wakefield’s CEE region is led by Jonathan Hallett, Head of Central & Eastern Europe. The new members of the leadership team will have oversight of the CEE region in their respective areas of expertise. They will be responsible for responding to clients’ evolving needs and driving change in key, strategic fields, including data strategy and communications.

Jonathan Hallett, Head of Central & Eastern Europe at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “I am delighted to welcome these eight accomplished individuals to their new CEE Leadership roles. They make a positive and significant contribution to the overall diversity of our regional team in terms of gender, geography, cultural background, experience and skills.
