Dany's tenure, which began in February 2022, has seen significant growth for NEPI Rockcastle. Under his leadership, the company's net operating income surged by 58% from €347 million to €547 million by the end of 2024 (excluding energy revenue). 

Distributable earnings per share also increased by 75% to 60.17 euro cents over the same period. The company successfully raised €1.7 billion in total capital, comprising €1.2 billion in debt and €500 million in equity, including a €300 million bookbuild in 2024.

The group’s acquisitions have totalled €1.2 billion since 2022, primarily focused on prime shopping centre assets in Poland, while maintaining a strong balance sheet with a stable Loan-to-Value (LTV) of 32.1%, well below the 35% threshold.

A notable achievement during Dany's leadership is the establishment of NEPI Rockcastle's renewable energy business. The segment, launched with an initial investment of €34 million in Romania during 2022-2023, generated €9.0 million in revenue in 2024.

"This move will allow me to pursue other opportunities in international commercial real estate, the retail industry and consultancy. By making this announcement now, I want to provide enough time for the Board to identify and onboard my successor," said the outgoing CEO.

The group has already engaged a leading executive search firm to find a suitable successor, considering both internal and external candidates.
