Fluent in German, English and French, and conversational in Italian, Philipp joins from JLL where he spent 17 years in the occupier business, working across Germany, France, London and most recently as Managing Director of the International Desk in New York.

He brings with him a huge amount of experience and is expertly placed to drive our expansion in the region.

“Our occupier platform has been on a dynamic journey of growth and transformation over the last few years. Along with geographical expansion, we’ve evolved the service offering, regularly securing multi-market mandates and household name accounts.

“In recognition of this we recently promoted Ross Criddle, James Waterhouse and James Bartolo in the critical areas of Global Portfolio Solutions, Occupier Analytics and Multi Market Tenant Representation, respectively. Under Philipp’s leadership as EMEA Head of the Occupier Strategy & Solutions service line, we have the people, platform and offering to accelerate and fulfil our ambitious expansion goals across Europe.”

Anthony Duggan, Chair of Europe at Knight Frank, added: “Philipp is an exciting hire and feeds into our strategic ambition to supercharge our European platform around our global service lines of Occupier Strategy & Solutions, Capital Markets, Residential and Valuation & Advisory. Philipp brings fantastic leadership experience to the region and will provide our global occupier clients with seamless support across our network.”
