Catalina Chew is the controller for Thor Equities

NEW YORK CITY—Catalina Chew has been hired by real estate developer Thor Equities as the firm's new controller.

Chew comes to Thor Equities from Boston-based Berkshire Group, where she served the firm as assistant controller for the past three years and was responsible for overseeing a portfolio valued at more than $1 billion in assets under management.

At her new position at Thor Equities, Chew will oversee a team responsible for the preparation and review of fund, property and management level accounting and reporting, as well as participate in a number of new technology initiatives, the company states.

“We are very pleased to welcome Catalina to the company. Her extensive experience will be instrumental as we continue to grow and acquire new properties throughout the United States, Europe and Latin America,” says Thor Equities COO Melissa Gliatta.

Last week, Thor Equities and AEW reported they had signed a contract to acquire a mixed-use property at 100 New Oxford St. in London from Tishman Speyer. The Thor/AEW partnership is paying £180 million (US$237 million) for the property.

Prior to joining Berkshire Group, Chew was corporate controller at High Street Equity Advisors in Boston for more than six years. Previously, she was accounting manager and treasurer for Northland Investment Corp., and an associate at PricewaterhourseCoopers LLP.
