Global Asset Solutions continues expansion
Duncan Kinnear, hotel asset manager, Global Asset Solutions
Global Asset Solutions has expanded its team further, with the appointment of Duncan Kinnear as hotel asset manager.
Duncan brings over eight years of hospitality expertise spanning integral asset management, investment advisory and technical operations. He has worked at both consultancy and operational levels with leading firms including Hamilton Pyramid Europe, Savills Spain and the Iberostar Group.
Duncan holds a masters in engineering from the University of Leeds, in addition to Cornell’s Hotel Real Estate Investment and Asset Management certificate.
Alex Sogno, CEO, Global Asset Solutions, said: “We are thrilled to add Duncan to our rapidly-expanding team as we grow around the world.
“Duncan has extensive experience across asset management; from operational repositioning, refinancing and exit processes through rigorous project management, financial modelling, budgeting and investor reporting. We are excited to have him on the team.
“We are seeing increasing demand for experienced asset managers from investors around the world as hotels mature as an asset class. These valuable – and complex – assets require rigorous oversight and cohesive relationships to achieve their full potential.”
Duncan added: “Global Asset Solutions is the market leader in independent asset management for the luxury sector and I am looking forward to working with the team across its growing portfolio.”
This appointment is part of a broader expansion plan. Last month the group appointed Adnan Shamim as managing partner for the Middle East, closely following the addition of Leanne Reddie as chief commercial officer, based out of GAS’s new Singapore office.
