Dan El Khoury will take over as head of Investment Properties German-speaking Switzerland at CBRE on January 1, 2027, according to a statement. He succeeds Sergio Günthardt, who is leaving the company at his own request after twelve years to take on a new role in the real estate investment sector. The leadership of Investment Properties in French-speaking Switzerland remains unchanged under Vincent Leroux.

El Khoury has worked for CBRE for more than eight years and most recently served as deputy head of Investment Properties German-speaking Switzerland. He holds a degree in civil engineering from ETH Zurich and an MBA from the University of St. Gallen. His focus is on structuring and executing real estate and corporate transactions.

Günthardt will hand over his responsibilities gradually and will continue to support ongoing mandates until they are completed. He will leave CBRE at the end of February 2027. Under his leadership, the transaction business in German-speaking Switzerland was expanded, particularly in the office, logistics, retail, and residential segments, according to the statement.
