Patrick Lange und Stephan Pientka treten Geschäftsführung der Westbridge-Tochter agradblue bei

agradblue GmbH (agradblue), a leading provider of ESG consulting services, announces the appointment of Patrick Lange as Managing Director and the addition of Stephan Pientka to the Management Board. Both have assumed their new positions effective June 1, 2024.

Patrick Lange already took up his role as Director of Sustainability at agradblue on August 1, 2023 and was able to demonstrate his entrepreneurial vision within less than a year, paving his way into the management team. Before joining agradblue, he worked for CA Immo, ECE and Ernst & Young Real Estate, among others. At his former employers, the 37-year-old was able to gain extensive experience in the areas of sustainability management, ESG due diligence and ESG strategy consulting. Lange is also VP Finance on the board of CoreNet Global, the largest global association of corporate real estate managers.

Stephan Pientka (52) joins agradblue from Quantum AG (Quantum) and brings many years of expertise in the areas of asset management and sales. As the previous Managing Director and Head of Asset Management & Sales at Quantum, he has played a key role in shaping the company's strategy in the areas of decarbonization and sustainable management since 2016. In his role, he was also responsible for the (re)positioning of Quantum's portfolio, the decarbonization strategy, all ESG-relevant services and sales activities in the fund business.

"We are delighted to have gained two such experienced leaders in Patrick Lange and Stephan Pientka," explains Yama Mahasher, CEO of the umbrella company Westbridge. "Their expertise will not only strengthen our core competencies, but also drive forward our vision of a corporate management that pursues an eminently important goal: The sustainable transformation of the entire real estate industry."

Ralf F. Bode, founder and Managing Director of agradblue, will step down from the operational management of agradblue on August 1, 2024 and take on an advisory role in the future. He will therefore continue to be involved in the strategic direction of the company and represent agradblue on various committees.
