Head of Germany – Canadian BD Pension Fund

One of the largest BD pension funds asked McLean to source a Head of Germany to manage the portfolio following a multibillion-euro investment.

McLean ran an international search, mapping major gateway cities in Europe where North American capital has been active over the past 3–5 years. It was essential to identify a candidate with multilingual skills, experience leading large mixed-use portfolios, and familiarity with Anglo-Saxon investment and asset management strategies.

McLean successfully delivered a high-quality, diverse shortlist and completed the mandate within nine weeks.
