Jessica Pilkes, previously Vice President and Country Manager for the Benelux, has been appointed as Head of Asset Management Northern Europe. In her new role she is responsible for Prologis’ operations across the Northern European region. This change is the result of an organizational change to boost efficiency and streamline operations, enabling Prologis to continue its growth trajectory across Europe.
Shift from local to regional
As Head of Asset Management for the Northern-European region, Jessica Pilkes will oversee all aspects of Operations, Real Estate & Customer Experience, Leasing, Facility Management and Operations Construction Management. In addition, she will help increase the value of Prologis’ portfolio across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Sweden. With this organizational change, which is in effect on a European level, the former role of Country Manager has been replaced by this more regionally oriented position. Alongside Jessica Pilkes in Northern Europe, other Heads of Asset Management are Martin Baláž (Central Europe), Cristian Oller (Southern Europe), and Stuart Davies (UK).
Jessica Pilkes: “I am very excited to take on my new role at Prologis. As the Head of Asset Management for Northern Europe, I’ll be working very closely with the local teams in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Sweden. This newly created position is designed to help our Northern European team to enhance the value of our portfolio and to streamline our operations more effectively.”
Streamlining operations
Intended to streamline management structures, splitting Operations and Capital Deployment functions to facilitate even more efficient responses to customer needs, Prologis’ new organizational structure was introduced on January 1, 2024. As Prologis customers increasingly seek out Built-To-Suit developments and tailored operational solutions across Northern Europe, Prologis’ organizational restructuring taps into customers’ demand to provide sustainable, customized solutions. Focusing on whole-lifecycle asset management optimization of its European portfolio, Prologis’ streamlined operations activities will enable even greater flexibility and efficiency.
“Every day our expert teams show a continuous effort to improve our service level to meet our customers’ demands. With our customers’ growth strategy and success at the forefront of everything that we do, we can stay ahead of what’s next. I am confident to continue driving excellence in all aspects of operations across our region,” adds Jessica Pilkes.
