Mirvac’s Campbell Hanan didn’t plan for a career in property
The new chief executive comes to the job from a career in office property, and has had to manage the fallout as that sector takes its most serious turn since the global financial crisis.
Campbell Hanan didn’t plan on a career in property. The man who has been property developer Mirvac’s chief executive for a month simply saw his first job in office leasing as a decent vantage point from which, hopefully, he could spot other opportunities in the workforce.
As Hanan puts it, he thought leasing office space was a good way “to get exposure to so many different company types,” but along the way he decided the property game itself was the one he wanted to play.
