Real estate investment trust that emerged from bankruptcy in November selects private equity IRO for the role
General Growth Properties (GGP), the NYSE-listed real estate investment trust, has hired Andrew Joa as its new vice president of investor relations.
Joa, who begins in his new role on June 14, will join from private equity firm Callahan Capital Partners, where he runs the investor relations effort.
The move is the latest appointment by GGP, which filed one of the US’ largest ever real estate bankruptcies in 2009 but emerged from Chapter 11 protection in November last year.
Last week, GGP announced the appointments of Shobi Khan as chief operating officer and Scott Morey as chief information and technology officer.
In his new role, Joa will be responsible for ‘managing and fostering relationships with the global investment community,’ the company says in a statement.
Prior to Callahan, Joa was director of IR at Trizec Properties.
