Property Forum, the leading media, events and business intelligence platform for the Central and Eastern European real estate industry, has appointed Irina Gasson as Chief Growth Officer.


In this newly created role, Irina will lead Property Forum's next phase of growth, expanding its commercial offering, deepening client partnerships and building integrated solutions that bring together media, events and advisory into a single, unified platform.

Irina brings over a decade of experience across international media, events and advisory businesses, with a proven track record in building high-performing commercial strategies, launching new revenue streams and serving global clients across real estate, finance and professional services. Prior to joining Property Forum, she held senior commercial roles at leading international platforms, where she developed large-scale partnerships, drove significant revenue growth and helped clients establish strong positions in highly competitive markets.

Property Forum has built its reputation as the go-to platform for real estate professionals across CEE, combining authoritative journalism, industry-leading events and a deeply connected regional community. The creation of the Chief Growth Officer role reflects the company's ambition to scale its impact further and cement its position as a strategic partner to the industry.

Irina Gasson commented: “The CEE real estate market continues to evolve, and so do the expectations of its key players. Property Forum is uniquely positioned to bring together content, community and insight. I’m looking forward to accelerating that evolution and building a platform that becomes an essential growth partner for the industry.”

Csanád Csürös, CEO of Property Forum, added: "This is more than a leadership appointment; it is a strategic collaboration. Irina brings a distinctive perspective on how media, community and commercial strategy can work together, and we're excited to have her shape the next chapter of Property Forum's development."

Irina will work closely with the leadership team to enhance Property Forum's product offering, forge new high-value partnerships and extend its reach across key European markets.
