Oxford Properties has added a new role to its C-suite with the appointment Chad Remis as the company’s first Chief Investment Officer. Joining him will be Liz Murphy, who has been newly promoted to Chief Financial Officer.

Murphy previously served jointly as Oxford’s senior vice president of finance and the global head of tax for its parent, OMERS. She succeeds Allison Wolfe, who is stepping away from her role as CFO and global head of portfolio management after 13 years with Oxford.

Remis takes on his new position with 10 years of experience at Oxford, most recently as executive vice president for North America. He has been a driver of Oxford’s strategic focus on industrial, multifamily and life sciences assets and oversaw record-setting sales of properties such as Royal Bank Plaza in Toronto, St. John’s Terminal in New York and One Memorial in Boston.

“It’s the right time in Oxford’s growth story to appoint a CIO to take a global view of our investments and portfolio,” observes Daniel Fournier, the company’s executive chair. “We will utilize Chad’s strengths and expertise across a global mandate to lead a team that harnesses the collective power of all our investment professionals, irrespective of their location.”

As well, five new members have joined Oxford’s executive committee. They include: Alessandro Fiascaris, head of Asia Pacific; Claire McIntyre, head of corporate and public affairs; Nu Suwankosai, head of global credit; Randy Hoffman, executive vice president, North American investments; and Tyler Seaman, executive vice president, Canada.

“These new appointments increase not only the geographic representation of our executive committee but also better recognize the importance of our corporate functions to Oxford’s success,” Fournier says.
