Westcore Welcomes Andrew “Andy” Burke as new Chief Executive Officer

Big things are happening at Westcore! After 20 years as CEO, Don Ankeny has handed the baton to industrial real estate veteran Andrew “Andy” Burke, who will succeed him as CEO. Don will remain on the board as Co-Chairman. In his new role, Andy will lead the entrepreneurial company from its San Diego headquarters, where he will create new capital relationships in the fund business, explore development opportunities and expand Westcore’s geographic focus to additional markets in the U.S.

Most recently, Andy led Tishman Speyer’s global industrial platform, setting the strategy while raising and investing capital across the US and Europe. He also spent 14 years at Terreno Realty Corporation (NYSE: TRNO) as an executive vice president. Burke was on the original management team that established Terreno’s national platform and took the company public in 2010. At Terreno, Burke oversaw acquisitions, dispositions, development, asset management and operations of industrial properties in New York, New Jersey, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington D.C.

“Andy has tremendous experience with major public and private companies,” said Don Ankeny. “I know he will accelerate Westcore’s growth and build upon our two-decade legacy of out-performance.”

We thank Don for his extraordinary leadership and are excited to see Andy take us to new heights!
