Alexandru Suiu, a 37-year old executive, took the reins of NEPI-owned Mega Mall, while Affan Yildirim became general manager of Anchor Grup, which owns Bucuresti Mall and Plaza Romania. Another NEPI mall, Promenada, put Sebastian Mahu, formerly employed by real estate consultant DTZ, in charge of its operations.
AFI Palace Cotroceni appointed Sorin Scintei, the former general manager of Mega Mall and City Park Constanta, to the helm, but AFI Europe officials have yet to confirm the move.
The highest-profile mall managers in Bucharest run malls with a gross lettable area of almost half a million square meters and more than 600 million lei (EUR136 million) revenue in 2014 (except for Mega Mall, which opened this year).
