Campbell brings with him extensive experience in real estate, latterly as senior managing director and head of International Real Estate at Pretium Partners, an alternative investment management company. He also spent almost nine years at Mubadala Investment, where he launched and led the firm’s international real estate investment activities.
Richards, meanwhile, was appointed vice-chair of Fidelity International last March, having previously served as their chief executive Officer since 2018. She was previously CEO of M&G Investments and global chief investment officer at Aberdeen Asset Management.
Chair of Landsec, Sir Ian Cheshire, said: “I am sure Michael and Anne will bring extremely valuable real estate and investment expertise to our future board discussions, as Landsec works towards its recently announced 2030 vision.”
That vision comprises four priority areas the business is looking to reshape its portfolio for growth over the next half-decade, including: optimising its Central London business; reimagining its retail business; growth through urban opportunities; and to release capital from subscale sectors.
