Chicago-based EQ Office has appointed Alex Vouvalides as Chief Executive Officer and Josh Hatfield as Chief Operating Officer, effective June 6, 2022.
Vouvalides and Hatfield succeed Frank Campbell, who is currently serving as Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer. Campbell is retiring following a 26-year career at EQ and will remain with the company for three months to ensure a smooth transition.
Vouvalides and Hatfield bring nearly 40 years of combined experience in real estate investing and operations and strong national tenant relationships. They have worked closely together since 2014 when they were both executives at Hudson Pacific Properties.
At HPP, Vouvalides most recently served as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Investment Officer – roles in which he was integral in shaping the company’s overall strategy, had direct day-to-day oversight of the firm’s investment activity and led the leasing and development departments. Hatfield served as the Executive Vice President of Operations at HPP where he oversaw a team of more than 250 employees serving more than 1,000 tenants across the company’s five operating regions and 20 million-square-foot portfolio.
In 2021, Vouvalides and Hatfield co-founded Eagle Point Capital Partners, a real estate investment firm focused on acquiring, developing, and operating premier office properties in high-growth, technology-anchored innovation markets.
