RKF taps Cesar to strengthen ties with Latin America

Alex Cesar, who had been running JLL’s retail department in Brazil, has been hired by RKF as senior director of its Miami office.



“Alex will be a crucial driver of our expansion in South Florida and will strengthen the bridge between the Latin American and U.S. retail markets,” said RKF CEO Robert Futterman in announcing the move.



Among Cesar’s most high-profile transactions were the Nike Factory Store in Recife, Brazil, and Oakley’s flagship store in Ipanema. His retail expertise extends to fashion, cosmetics, and restaurants, and he oversaw three million sq. ft. of space at six Brazilian malls as leasing director of BR malls.
