Perennial Investment Partners has appointed David Kivell to the role of managing director and head of Perennial real estate investments.
With 30 years experience in funds management, research, financial services and accounting, Kivell's previous roles include managing director at CBRE Global Real Estate Securities, and Macquarie Funds Management's head of global real estate securities and head of Australian real estate securities.
