James Sparrow, currently CEO EMEA, will become chairman of Savills EMEA while continuing as CEO of Savills UK. Jaime Pascual‑Sanchiz, CEO of Savills Iberia, will step up to chairman of Savills Iberia and take on the role of CEO of Savills Continental Europe.

Steve Morgan, CEO of Savills Middle East, will broaden his remit to become CEO of the Middle East and Africa. Alejandro Campoy, managing director of Savills Spain, will become CEO of Savills Iberia. Javier Echeverría, currently COO of Savills Spain, will move into a dual role as CFO and COO of Savills Continental Europe.

Pascual‑Sanchiz has led Savills Spain since 2018 and has more recently overseen Southern Europe and Iberia, drawing on a background in capital markets and investment management. Morgan has held a leadership role in the UAE since 2009 and has expanded Savills’ Middle East business significantly since its acquisition in 2018, while also championing selective expansion into Africa.

Campoy’s promotion reflects the continued growth of Savills’ Iberian business, while Echeverría’s appointment strengthens Continental Europe’s operational and financial leadership.

Simon Shaw, CEO of Savills plc, said the changes reflect the strength of the firm’s people and its focus on developing the business across both established and emerging EMEA markets. He said he looks forward to working with the team and the EMEA board to continue Savills’ focused regional growth.
