VIA OUTLETS APPOINTS THIERRY SEANG AS INVESTMENT DIRECTOR
August 31, 2022 – VIA Outlets, the industry-leading owner-operator in redefining the outlet shopping experience across 11 premium outlets in Europe, announces the appointment of Thierry Seang as Investment Director. The Director-level appointment forms part of the company’s bold growth strategy in which Seang will be responsible for defining VIA Outlets’ inorganic growth strategy across Europe and executing forthcoming real estate transactions for the company.
Seang joins VIA Outlets from private equity firm Maple Knoll Capital where he served as Vice President of Investments for six years.
