Announcing the appointment on LinkedIn, British Land’s CFO David Walker writes: ‘We are delighted to welcome Max Nimmo, CFA to British Land, today as our new head of investor relations and strategy.
‘Max joins us after roles in the buy side and sell side covering real estate and at a really interesting time for our business. It’s great to have him and really looking forward to working together, starting quickly with tomorrow’s [July 14] AGM.’
Meanwhile in Redwood City, California, app marketing and monetization company Liftoff has hired Jenn Kettnich as its vice president of investor relations.
The firm, which recently made its stock market debut on the Nasdaq exchange, says that Kettnich brings more than 15 years of experience in investor relations and finance. She joins Liftoff from Mattel, where she served as vice president and head of investor relations, leading the company’s engagement with analysts and institutional investors. Prior to Mattel, she spent more than 10 years at The Walt Disney Company, holding a senior role in investor relations, in addition to roles in corporate finance and treasury.
