Savills appoints David Lipson as head of North America business

Savills said on Monday that it has appointed David Lipson as the new chief executive of its North America business with effect from 1 January 2024.

Lipson replaces Mitch Rudin, who has been CEO since July 2020 and will become chairman of Savills North America on his appointment.

Lipson has been with Savills North America - and its predecessor firm Studley Inc - since 1987, and until his appointment as president of Savills North America in January 2021 headed its Washington office.

Savills said he will be responsible for leading the next stage of the business’s growth.

Chief executive Mark Ridley said: "His experience will be instrumental in leading a strong management team to deliver our growth aspirations for the business over the coming years."
