Introducing PJ Galvin, our new MD

We’re delighted to welcome PJ Galvin as our new managing director.

PJ joins Real Estate Balance following five years at Hammerson, where he led the organisation’s strategy for culture, performance and employee experience, and served as Chair of its LGBTQ+ Affinity Group.

PJ has spent three decades working within large global retail businesses – developing talent, driving cultural transformation and embedding inclusive behaviours, including for Selfridges, Molton Brown and Gap – and we’re thrilled that he’ll be bringing this experience to Real Estate Balance for the benefit of our members.

Speaking about PJ’s appointment, our Chair Jo Davis said:

“Welcoming PJ as managing director of Real Estate Balance is genuinely exciting and an important milestone for us. His passion for creating inclusive environments where people truly belong aligns perfectly with our mission and momentum. I’m confident he will build on the organisation’s strong foundations and accelerate its impact across the industry.”

Talking about his new position, PJ said:

“Over the last 10 years, Real Estate Balance has successfully helped its members make inclusion a core strategic priority. As someone who has spent their career creating workplace environments where people feel they truly belong, I’m thrilled to be joining the organisation and further developing this work. I’m excited to support Real Estate Balance’s members to continue driving change, building inclusive cultures and opening up opportunities for people from all backgrounds.”

We hope you’ll all join us in welcoming PJ as he settles into his new role.
