Oxford Properties Group, the Toronto-headquartered global real estate investor, developer and manager, announced Eric Plesman is rejoining as president and CEO, effective Nov 3. He will be succeeding Daniel Fournier, who is stepping down.
Plesman most recently served as head of global real estate at HOOPP, and earlier in his career Plesman spent over a decade at Morgan Stanley in senior and global roles. Plesman first worked at Oxford in 2011 and spent over a decade at the firm, serving as head of Canadian investments before being promoted to head of Canada then to executive vice president of North America.
Plesman is also as a member of the board of directors at the Greater Toronto Airport Authority, which manages and operates Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, and he also serves as chairman of the Institutional Investor Council at the Pension Real Estate Association, which represents and advocates for global institutional investors
“Leading Oxford over the past three years has been a profound privilege,” said Fournier, who also serves as executive chairman at Oxford. “From the outset, I committed to step aside when three conditions were met: that we accelerated progress against our biggest opportunities and challenges; we strengthened performance across the business; and that we secured the best possible leader for Oxford’s next chapter. With those goals achieved, now is the perfect time for Eric, who is an exceptional real estate executive, to take the helm and lead Oxford in its next chapter.”
