GSL, a leading data, insights, and market intelligence platform for the global student accommodation sector, today announces the continued evolution of its executive leadership team as it enters its next phase of international expansion and growth.
Following a period of strong commercial momentum and geographic expansion, the company is strengthening its leadership structure to support increased scale across markets and further align global revenue and growth strategy.
As part of this evolution, Thiago Alves has been appointed to the role of Global Chief Revenue & Growth Officer, reflecting his expanded responsibility across the company’s international commercial performance and growth strategy.
