The appointment is a response to the significant increase in demand for technical consultancy services—including project management, technical due diligence, and site supervision—and those specifically related to sustainability, from both landlords and tenants.

In his new role, Vințe will focus on expanding the client portfolio and strategic partnerships. Critically, he will also oversee the business line dedicated to sustainability services. The firm is reinforcing its ability to help clients adapt their portfolios to modern environmental and energy efficiency standards, which, in turn, contributes to the improvement of ESG performance across their projects.

He brings over 21 years of experience gained across various sectors, including financial services, retail, residential, and consultancy, with a consistent focus on real estate. 

Andrei Ianculescu, Head of PDS at Cushman & Wakefield Echinox, said: “Bringing Gabriel Vințe on board is a natural step for us, considering the market evolution and the growing expectations regarding technical consultancy, design, and sustainability services. This team expansion strengthens our ability to deliver integrated services, from concept to final delivery.”

The company has advised numerous investors, developers, and tenants on green building certification, energy consumption optimization, and carbon footprint reduction.

The PDS department has delivered projects totalling 200,000 sqm of office, retail, industrial, and logistics spaces for both landlords and tenants over the past three years. During the same period, projects benefiting from green certification services have reached a total of 760,000 sqm.
