These additions bring over 12 years of combined European real estate experience, growing Greykite's team to 16 professionals from top global investment firms.
Baptiste Meurisse, previously a principal at Blackstone's Real Estate Asset Management team, will lead asset management and value creation at Greykite, leveraging his experience with residential portfolios in Spain and Denmark. 
Silvia Cadau, who was a senior associate on Blackstone's Real Estate Acquisitions team, will focus on sourcing, underwriting, and executing new investment opportunities, particularly in the pan-European industrial sector—a key investment area for Greykie.
Greykite recently launched its ninth investment theme, a German Multi-Family Rental platform, adding to its diverse portfolio, which includes data centre conversions, European logistics, and various residential and industrial assets across Europe. The firm has facilitated over $3.5 bn in transactions to date.
Michael Abel, founder & CEO of Greykite, said: “Baptiste and Silvia are excellent additions to the team. Baptiste brings strong asset management experience from one of the world’s leading real estate investors, and Silvia adds valuable investment expertise from her work on pan-European acquisitions. As we continue to scale Greykite’s platform, attracting high-calibre talent remains central to our ability to execute our strategy and deliver strong outcomes for our investors.”
Dan Valenzano, senior partner of Greykie, added: “Both Baptiste and Silvia bring relevant experience and institutional backgrounds that align closely with our investment approach. These hires reflect our continued focus on building a team with the expertise and discipline required to source, execute, and actively manage investments across Europe.”
