NEW YORK CITY-Michael J. Bartolotta has been appointed by Cushman & Wakefield as the firm's new executive vice president and chief financial officer, the firm announced in a statement. Bartolotta was previously the CFO of EXOR Inc., the US operation of C&W’s majority shareholder. He will be based in the firm's headquarters in Manhattan.

Since EXOR’s beginning in 2004, Bartolotta was instrumental in the company’s acquisition of a majority stake in C&W in 2007. He has worked for the Agnelli Family's companies since 1991. He replaces Robert Rozek, who will join a non-real estate services firm.

A member of C&W’s Board of Directors since 2007, Bartolotta is “intimately familiar with our organization, structure and priorities," says Glenn Rufrano, president and CEO of C&W, in a prepared statement. "Mike’s appointment signals EXOR’s continued confidence in and commitment to Cushman & Wakefield’s aggressive growth plan, and Mike will be instrumental in our success as he joins us in this new role.”

Prior to joining the Agnelli Family's companies, from 1986 to 1991, Bartolotta was vice president of finance and CFO of Great American Recreation Inc. and related companies, a group of multi-divisional public and private corporations engaged in the hotel, leisure and real estate development markets. From 1983 to 1986, he was assistant corporate controller of General Instrument Corp., where he was responsible for all corporate accounting functions. He began his career with Price Waterhouse in New York, where he was an auditor from 1978 to 1983.
