EQ Office Adds CFO to Further Its Strategy
EQ Office, the U.S. office portfolio company wholly-owned by Blackstone’s real estate funds and formerly known as Equity Office Properties, is bringing Michael Knott aboard as CFO, effective July 30. Knott spent the last 16 years at Green Street Advisors, a leading commercial real estate and REIT research firm, most recently serving as managing director.
“Adding Michael as part our executive leadership team deeply aligns with where we’re taking the organization and our strategy,” said Lisa Picard, president and CEO of EQ Office. “He’s had a front-row seat in watching our industry change for nearly 20 years, and will collaborate with EQ leadership in furthering our strategies for driving value.”
In his new role, Knott will bring creativity to understanding new value in the office market, EQ Office said. He’ll also further the company’s technology initiatives around predictive analytics.
