CEO of Colliers Czech Republic, will take over the leadership in Slovakia

The current CEO of the Czech branch of the real estate consultancy Colliers Tewfik Sabongui will expand his responsibilities and take over the management of the Slovak office as well. The current managing director in Slovakia, Richard Urvay, will leave his position by the end of April.

Sabongui previously worked for the multinational consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle for over 14 years, first in management positions and then in senior management. Then, in 2017, together with Petr Žalský and Eduard Forejt, they founded their own real estate consulting company, Threesixty. A year later, however, the company merged with the Czech branch of Colliers International, with Sabongui first becoming Managing Director and later CEO. Žalský also joined Colliers, while Forejt later joined the developer Passerinvest. According to Colliers, Sabongui is an expert in capital markets, office leasing, development consultancy and M&A. Sabongui is originally from Egypt and has been in the Czech Republic since 1999.

He says the aim of expanding his remit is to build on Urvay's leadership and strengthen Czech-Slovak relations and common interests. "I am confident that with his wealth of experience and vision, Tewfik will continue to focus on activities that will strengthen our market presence, provide excellent service to our clients and also attract additional talent to our firm," said Monika Rajská-Wolinská, Colliers' Managing Director for the CEE region.
