Rita-Rose Gagné, chief executive of Hammerson, added: “Himanshu is an experienced CFO who brings a blend of strong financial, strategic and leadership qualities. On behalf of the board, and all colleagues I look forward to welcoming him to the company and benefitting from his insight and experience.”
Raja will also become an executive director of the company on 26 April at which point Lenton will step down.
