Frasers Property Limited has announced that Reini Otter will step down as CEO of Frasers Property Industrial on 17 December 2026 to pursue a new career opportunity. Ian Barter, currently the Managing Director for Australia, will assume leadership responsibilities for both Australia and Europe starting 1 August 2026, until a new CEO is appointed.
Barter, who joined Frasers Property in 2005, brings over 25 years of experience in industrial and commercial property. He will report to the Frasers Property Industrial Executive Committee and directly to the Exco Deputy Chair, Rod Fehring. Fehring, a former CEO of Frasers Property Australia, has been instrumental in the company’s management committee.
Otter has been with Frasers Property for 28 years, including seven years as CEO of Frasers Property Industrial. Under his leadership, the company expanded its industrial and logistics business in Australia and Europe. “It has been a privilege to lead Frasers Property Industrial,” Otter remarked, expressing confidence in the team’s future success.
Group CEO Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi praised Otter’s contributions and expressed confidence in Barter and the management team. “Our strategy is unchanged, and our focus on delivering for our customers and stakeholders continues,” he stated.
The Frasers Property Board has initiated the process to appoint a permanent CEO and will provide updates in due course.
