The appointment of Dan Petrișor opens a new chapter for Meta Estate Trust, one in which we aim to accelerate development, capitalize on market opportunities and remain on a sustainable growth trajectory. He has distinguished himself through the large-scale transactions he has coordinated and through his pragmatic approach, focused on capital protection and value creation. We are confident that he will carry forward our strategy of responsible diversification and sustainable development. We welcome him and express our confidence in his vision and leadership starting with the mandate effective on 1 January 2026,” said Laurențiu Mihai Dinu, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
