DIC Asset AG is about to strengthen its human resource basis in the two strategic areas of logistics and ESG/sustainability. To this end, the company is creating two new senior positions on the group level.

Prior stops in his career include the positions Head of Land Development at SEGRO Germany, Business Development & Letting Manager at nextparx, and Head of Logistics Real Estate at NAI Apollo. He has a degree in real estate economics from the International Real Estate Business School (IREBS) at the University of Regensburg. With the start of 2021, Dr. Kati Herzog will assume the newly created position of Head of Sustainability. In this role, she will coordinate the group-wide intensification of ESG activities and the implementation of a more dynamic sustainability strategy to be pursued by DIC Asset AG. Dr. Kati Herzog served most recently as Head of Degree Program and professor for real estate management and leadership at the Hamburg School of Business Administration (HSBA).
