In May last year Reijnen, who has headed NSI since 2003, said that she preferred to be in a position 'more directly involved with real estate.' Reijnen said now that the company's new strategy of further growth and internationalisation had been put in place under Israeli shareholder Habas, it was ready for a new phase. 'My view is that this new phase requires a different type of leadership,' Reijnen said.
NSI announced its first deal outside the Netherlands in January with the acquisition of a shopping centre in Switzerland for EUR 21mln.
