In a statement emailed to the media yesterday, Emaar confirmed Mr Carfi&#8217;s appointment. &#8220;John Carfi has joined Emaar Properties as CEO of Development,&#8221; an Emaar spokesman said.Mr Carfi joined Mirvac in 2001 and was responsible for developing the group&#8217;s apartments business and growing its master-planned communities arm.In November 2016 Mirvac announced to the Australian bourse that Mr Carfi was leaving the company after 15 years to &#8220;to jointly head Emaar Properties as group CEO &#8211; development with the global group&#8221;.Emaar declined to comment further on the appointment ahead of an anticipated board of directors meeting today. According to Emaar&#8217;s website, the developer employs at least 12 chief executives in the various arms of its business. These include: Amit Jain, the group chief operating officer and chief executive of Dubai operations; Maitha Al Dossari, the chief executive of Emaar Entertainment; Nasser Rafi, of Emaar Malls; Mohamed El Dahan, Emaar Regional; Jeremy Lester, Emaar&#8217;s international business; and Olivier Harnisch of Emaar Hospitality Group.A number of the group&#8217;s top brass has departed in recent years as rivals headhunt the company&#8217;s senior executives. In 2014, Abu Dhabi-based developer Eagle Hills, which is led by Mohamed Alabbar, Emaar&#8217;s chairman, hired several former Emaar managers including Low Ping, Emaar&#8217;s former group chief executive, and Salman Sajid, previously chief financial officer of several Emaar units. That year Fred Durie, the previous head of Emaar International, also left the company to head the Dubai private real estate company Nshama.lbarnard@thenational.aeFollow The National&#8217;s Business section on Twitter&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : thenational.ae&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenational.ae\/business\/property\/emaar-properties-brings-in-mirvacs-john-carfi-to-lead-development-unit\" target=\"_blank\">Emaar Properties brings in Mirvac&#8217;s John Carfi to lead development unit<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; Dubai&#8217;s largest listed property company, Emaar Properties, has appointed the former head of residential at&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-property-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p75ss1-ca1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":58594,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/emaar-properties-appoints-new-ceo\/","url_meta":{"origin":46749,"position":0},"title":"Emaar Properties appoints new CEO","date":"June 21, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"\r Emaar Properties has appointed Amit Jain as its group chief executive officer with immediate effect.Mr Jain had already been acting chief executive since April last year, when former chief executive Abdullah Lahej departed the company to become the head of Dubai Holding's Dubai Properties Group.Mr Jain has worked at\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Property News&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":18498,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/dubai-properties-group-appoints-former-emaar-exec-abdulla-lahej-as-ceo\/","url_meta":{"origin":46749,"position":1},"title":"Dubai Properties Group appoints former Emaar exec Abdulla Lahej as CEO","date":"July 3, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"\r Abdullatif AlMulla, who only joined Dubai Properties Group in August 2015, resigned last week\r \r Source : arabianbusiness.com\r Read more...Dubai Properties Group appoints former Emaar exec Abdulla Lahej as CEO","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Property News&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":57182,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/emaar-properties-plans-ipo-for-uae-real-estate-development-business\/","url_meta":{"origin":46749,"position":2},"title":"Emaar Properties plans IPO for UAE real estate development business","date":"June 7, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"\r Emaar Properties plans to float its UAE real estate development business on the main Dubai bourse, the company announced this morning.In a stock exchange statement, Emaar said it will offer up to 30 per cent of its UAE Real Estate Development business through a share offering on the DFM.The\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Property News&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":10338,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/dubais-emaar-properties-group-ceo-exits-role\/","url_meta":{"origin":46749,"position":3},"title":"Dubai&#039;s Emaar Properties group CEO exits role","date":"April 10, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"\r Lahej's responsibilities were being handled by Amit Jain, group chief operating officer\r \r Source : arabianbusiness.com\r Read more...Dubai's Emaar Properties group CEO exits role","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Property News&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":52750,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/emaar-hospitality-group-unveils-six-new-hotels\/","url_meta":{"origin":46749,"position":4},"title":"Emaar Hospitality Group unveils six new hotels","date":"April 24, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"\r Emaar Hospitality Group, the hospitality and leisure arm of Emaar Properties, unveiled six new hotels as part of its regional and international expansion at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) in Dubai.
