Xior Student Housing appoints Frédéric Renard as new CFO

Today, Xior Student Housing NV announces the appointment of Frédéric Renard as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and effective leader, subject to approval by the FSMA. He will take up his position no later than 1 February 2027, succeeding Frederik Snauwaert, whose departure was announced earlier. With this appointment, Xior ensures the continuity of its financial strategy and strengthens the company’s financial and capital markets expertise to support the further implementation of its strategic objectives.

Strong financial expertise, extensive real estate experience and profound knowledge of Xior

Frédéric Renard brings with him more than fifteen years’ experience in real estate, finance and capital markets. He holds a Master’s degree in Business Engineering from the Louvain School of Management and has completed the CFA programme. Following roles as auditor at PwC and Associate Director at CBRE, he built up extensive expertise in listed real estate at Kepler Cheuvreux, most recently as Co-Head of European Listed Real Estate Research. As an analyst, he followed Xior closely for several years, giving him a particularly thorough understanding of Xior’s strategy, portfolio and financing structure.

The Board of Directors is convinced that, thanks to his combination of financial expertise, real estate experience and in-depth knowledge of Xior, Frédéric is ideally placed to take on the financial leadership of the group. In this role, he will contribute to the further strengthening of the financial organisation, the implementation of Xior’s long-term strategy and the creation of sustainable value for shareholders, employees, students and other stakeholders.

Carefully planned transition

To ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities, a carefully planned transition will take place over the coming months. Working closely with the existing finance team and management, Frédéric will prepare for his new role, ensuring that the handover of the group’s financial leadership proceeds in an orderly and efficient manner. The experienced finance team will ensure the continuity of the financial organisation throughout the transition period.

 

Christian Teunissen, CEO Xior Student Housing: “We are delighted to welcome Frédéric as Xior’s new CFO. His financial expertise, his in-depth knowledge of the real estate and capital markets, and his familiarity with our company make him ideally placed to further strengthen our financial organisation. Frédéric combines sharp financial insight with a strong strategic vision and is an excellent fit for the ambitions we have for the next phase of Xior’s development. We look forward to continuing to work together to build the group’s sustainable growth.”
