Dan Petrișor holds a master’s degree in finance from Tilburg University and a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Economics from Leeds University.
“The Board of Directors sought a leader with multidisciplinary expertise, solid experience in both the real estate and capital markets, an understanding of investor needs and the ability to ensure the smooth execution of projects. The appointment of Dan Petrișor opens a new chapter for Meta Estate Trust, one in which we aim to accelerate development, capitalize on market opportunities and remain on a sustainable growth trajectory. He has distinguished himself through the large-scale transactions he has coordinated and through his pragmatic approach, focused on capital protection and value creation. We are confident that he will carry forward our strategy of responsible diversification and sustainable development. We welcome him and express our confidence in his vision and leadership starting with the mandate effective on 1 January 2026,” said Laurențiu Mihai Dinu, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Until the new CEO’s mandate enters into effect, executive management continues to be ensured by Mr. Bogdan Gramanschi, as Interim Chief Executive Officer.
