aedifion Expands into France and UK with New Regional Managers

Cologne-based PropTech company aedifion has launched sales activities in France and the United Kingdom, marking the next step in its European expansion strategy. The company has appointed Francisco De Sousa as Regional Manager for France and Jefferson Emesibe as Regional Manager for the UK.

The move extends aedifion’s reach beyond its existing presence in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Hungary, and the United States. The company currently manages nearly 500 buildings with a combined floor area of more than six million square metres.

Francisco De Sousa will lead business development in France, drawing on more than seven years of experience in facility management and sustainability. His previous positions include Regional Facilities Lead at JLL and Regional Operations Manager at CBRE, where he oversaw property operations across more than ten countries with a focus on portfolio-wide energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives.

In the UK, Jefferson Emesibe will direct sales efforts. He joins aedifion from senior roles at CoStar Group, where he served as Regional Director, and at Plentific Group, where he was Business Development Director. Emesibe brings over a decade of experience in real estate and more than 15 years working with data and insights for global SaaS firms in the hospitality, insurance, and energy sectors.

“With Francisco De Sousa and Jefferson Emesibe, we have gained two strong leaders and proven experts to drive our expansion into France and the United Kingdom,” said Dr.-Ing. Johannes Fütterer, CEO of aedifion. “We are now active in eight European countries, and our goal is to continue the gradual expansion into further European markets.”
