The Savills Private Office announces a restructure of its leadership team with Rory McMullen taking the role of co-head alongside existing co-head, Alex Christian.
This strategic move reflects the global growth of Savills Private Office, which comprises 25 real estate specialists across key international hubs. The team provides a single, discreet point of access to the full breadth of the Savills network, serving high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and their advisers with unparalleled expertise.
Rory McMullen, currently Head of the North America desk, brings a wealth of experience in advising ultra-high-net-worth clients on complex cross-border transactions. Having spent over a decade at Savills, Rory has been instrumental in expanding the Private Office’s reach and strengthening its global connectivity. His deep understanding of international property trends and client needs position him perfectly to help spearhead the next chapter of growth.
Alex Christian, widely regarded as one of London’s foremost super-prime specialists, has built an exceptional track record of transacting in the capital’s most prestigious addresses. His insight into the nuances of the market alongside his utmost discretion, have cemented his reputation as a trusted advisor.
Rory McMullen, said, “Our clients are more globally agile and transient than ever. The Savills Private Office is uniquely positioned to provide advice across the full spectrum of their real estate requirements, wherever they may be in the world. We plan to strategically expand the team in key wealth hubs, and to align ourselves with our existing Cross Border Investment teams around the world.”
Alex Christian, added, “What sets the Savills Private Office apart is that its members are not only experts in global wealth flows, but are also deeply embedded in their local markets, with vast experience and expertise. From the UK to Europe, Middle East and Asia, we have the unique ability to seamlessly, and discreetly, service international capital as it moves between key global property markets.”
These changes took effect from 1 January 2026, as Jonathan Hewlett steps down as Chairman of the Private Office. Crispin Holborow remains as a key member of the Savills Private Office as UK Country director.
