Tom Edwards-Moss will succeed Kevin Nowlan as chief executive of Hibernia Real Estate Investment Trust (Reit) following the property company’s sale to private-equity player Brookfield.

US-based Brookfield completed its takeover of Hibernia last week, delisting the office developer from the Irish Stock Exchange.

The company confirmed on Tuesday that it had appointed Mr Edwards-Moss as its new chief executive. Mr Nowlan remains as executive director and senior adviser.

Mr Edwards-Moss has been Hibernia’s chief financial officer since June 2014. The Central Bank, as regulator, must approve his appointment.

He pledged that the company would continue to focus on developing high-quality offices under its new owner.

Hibernia will also change its name shortly as it stopped being a real-estate investment trust once Brookfield bought it.
