Artur Apostoł joins Griffin Capital Partners as Co-Managing Partner to lead the company’s real estate activities together with Marek Obuchowicz, who has been promoted to Co-Managing Partner. Artur and Marek are taking over responsibilities from Piotr Fijołek, who transitions from an active role and will continue supporting the firm as Senior Advisor. These appointments mark the completion of a leadership transformation aligned with the company’s dynamic growth and long-term strategy. This follows the recent addition of Paweł Caruk as Co-Managing Partner, who together with Co-Managing Partner Tomasz Mrowczyk, is responsible for the company’s expansion within the non-real estate private equity activities, including energy and infrastructure sector investments.
Maciej Dyjas, Co-Owner and Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners, says: “We are delighted to welcome Artur back to our team after nearly nine years. At the same time, we extend our gratitude to Piotr Fijołek for his many years of dedicated leadership and significant contribution to the firm’s development. Together, we have successfully executed our strategy, delivered strong results, and built a robust team of experts.”
Nebil Șenman, Co-Owner and Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners, added: “Following our successful non-real estate private equity and energy & infrastructure expansion and the recent strengthening of our leadership with Paweł Caruk, we're introducing complementary changes in real estate private equity leadership. Artur’s return and Marek’s promotion to Co-Managing Partner will continue to allow us to be ready for new opportunities and challenges. This completes the transformation at the top management level, driven by the company’s dynamic growth.”
Artur Apostoł started his new role as Co-Managing Partner in November. For the past nine years, he was working for Globalworth Poland (initially Griffin Premium RE..) in which, before his resignation, as the Managing Director was responsible for real estate operations and Globalworth’s acquisitions in Poland earlier.
