Markus Facklam

London & Partners

Director Europe & Middle East

I serve as a strategic bridge between London and the world’s most dynamic markets. With teams in Berlin, Paris, and Stockholm, I focus on building international connections that reinforce London’s status as a premier global hub. My work is centred on delivering resilient, sustainable, and inclusive growth. This involves a dual focus: guiding international enterprises as they establish a home in London and empowering London-based companies to navigate and thrive in global markets. Simultaneously, I support global capital investment into London’s real estate and infrastructure, while attracting the major events and leisure tourism that keep the city’s heart beating.
