UK real estate platform Praxis has appointed Rosamund King as its new chief people officer as it further strengthens its senior leadership team to facilitate its growth.
With more than 100 professionals working across three UK offices, Praxis has newly introduced the role of chief people officer.
King will join the group board, led by chief executive officer Mark Harrison. She will have responsibility for all people functions across the business and implement a strategic HR framework that aligns with, and propels, Praxis’ growth ambitions.
She has more than 15 years of experience leading people agendas. King started her career specialising in financial services recruitment and had subsequent senior roles in banking and professional services, most recently at First Bank.
King said: “I was attracted to Praxis on account of its clearly defined values which permeate throughout the organisation, providing me with the challenge of ensuring the business’ identity remains intact as it scales. It’s hugely exciting to take on this role during a period of rapid expansion, leading initiatives that drive employee engagement and performance, whilst promoting an environment for people to develop their careers that cements Praxis as a destination for top talent.”
James Hewitt, chief operating officer of Praxis, added: “We are delighted to welcome Rosamund to the team as we position the business to take advantage of our strong pipeline of identified opportunities across the UK commercial real estate market. As we grow, Rosamund will play an important role in protecting the resilience of our corporate structure while preserving the business’ unique culture and character. I am delighted to welcome this high calibre professional on board.”
