Skills and Experience

Jonathan Callaghan was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Cromwell Property Group in October 2021. Since then, he has led a strategic repositioning of the business, focused on streamlining operations, deleveraging the balance sheet, and transitioning Cromwell to become a capital-light, regionally focused real estate investment manager. Under his leadership, the Group completed a $1.6 billion divestment program, including the sale of its European platform, enabling a sharper focus on core markets in Australia and New Zealand and strengthening the company’s financial position for long-term growth.

Before joining Cromwell, Mr Callaghan spent 14 years at Investa Property Group, where he held several senior roles including General Counsel, Joint Managing Director, Finance Director, and ultimately Chief Executive Officer in 2016. During his tenure, he oversaw the Investa Commercial Property Fund, which was the top-performing core office fund across multiple time horizons at the time of his departure. Investa was also recognised as an industry leader and named in the AFR BOSS Best Places to Work list for 2021 in the property sector.

Earlier in his career, Mr Callaghan spent time at law firms Gilbert & Tobin and Corrs Chambers Westgarth. Mr Callaghan holds a Master of Applied Finance from Macquarie University and a Bachelor of Science (Hons) and Bachelor of Laws (Hons) from the University of Sydney. Mr Callaghan is a Member of the Property Champions of Change Coalition.
