White has led the group’s fund finance team for four years, during which she was responsible for ensuring “significant change and improvement” across the European fund management business.
White’s previous experience includes senior finance roles at several large financial institutions, including the Qatar Sovereign Wealth Fund, Citigroup Property Investors and Marriott International.
She will report to Pertti Vanhanen, managing director for Europe at Cromwell, and work closely with CFO Michael Wilde.
Vanhanen said Cromwell has promoted “someone with such extensive senior finance experience to a key role from within the business,” at a time when the business aims to become a “capital-light” investment and fund manager in Europe.
White said: “Given the ongoing structural changes in the real estate industry and the rapidly evolving economic backdrop of the past few months, this is an extremely exciting time to take on such a role.”
