BNP Paribas Real Estate aims to further its expertise in managing and processing of real estate data by forming a Data & Analytics department, under the supervision of Christophe Pineau in his new appointment as Chief Data & Analytics Officer. In doing so, the company intends to meet the challenges of Big Data, Smart Data, and Data Science.
