Greg Mace joins as the firm readies itself for new developments, after previously working in luxury hotels like The Connaught and The Dorchester in the capital.
“Using the experience gained over the last 30 years in the hospitality industry will enable me to build a new resident experience team to deliver this dream and build a culture and ethos that sees Riverstone recognised as a great place to work,” Mace said.
Mace had also spent time with investment bank Merill Lynch after entering the luxury hotels scene.
CEO Jason Leek said: “I am very confident Greg will add real value to the Riverstone business and we look forward to seeing him deliver on our ambitions for our new residences when they open next year.”
