Exclusive: Lend Lease鈥檚 EMEA chief executive Simon Hipperson leaves firm - and will be replaced by former boss Dan Labbad
Lend Lease鈥檚 European boss has exited the business after just over a year in his role, 星空传媒 can reveal.
星空传媒 understands Simon Hipperson (pictured left), chief executive of Lend Lease鈥檚 Europe, Middle East and Africa business, left his role, with an announcement expected from the firm imminently.
It is understood his exit is with immediate effect.
Lend Lease today told 星空传媒 that Hipperson had 鈥渓eft the business to pursue other personal and business interests鈥�.
Hipperson was appointed to his role in August last year, and took up the reins on 1 October 2012 to replace former EMEA chief executive Dan Labbad, who left the EMEA business to return to Sydney as the Australian construction group鈥檚 chief operating officer.
Now, just over a year later, Hipperson will be replaced by Labbad (pictured below), who will continue in in his role as Group chief operating officer, but will now divide his time between Sydney, where he is based, and London.
A Lend Lease spokesman said the EMEA business would report to Labbad, and this would be an ongoing arrangement, rather than an interim measure.
