Landsec names data expert as new non-exec director

Data and analytics expert Manjiry Tamhane has joined property giant Landsec as an independent non-executive director.

With data increasingly important to the company’s strategy, Tamhane joins with more than 20 years of “highly relevant and complementary” experience, the Bluewater mall owner said.

She is currently global chief executive of Gain Theory, a global marketing effectiveness consultancy she helped found in 2015, and a subsidiary of WPP.

Landsec chairman Cressida Hogg said: "Manjiry's in-depth knowledge of advanced analytics, data, technology and strategic planning, combined with experience of the retail sector, will be a great asset to the board."

Tamhane added: “I… look forward to adding my experience to an already strong and diverse board. Landsec’s focus on using data and insights to inform business decisions and create long-term profitable value for all its stakeholders is an exciting opportunity and one I look forward to supporting.”

Landsec’s strategy, set out in October 2020, is based on four key priorities: Optimise the central London business; Reimagine retail; Realise capital from subscale sectors; and Grow through urban opportunities.
