Cushman & Wakefield’s chief accounting officer is leaving the company, the latest C-suite shakeup at the world’s third-largest commercial brokerage.

Len Texter will exit at the end of the month “in order to pursue a new opportunity,” according to a Thursday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Texter, who also serves as Cushman’s head of investor relations and global controller, has been with the company since January 2019, according to his Linkedin profile.
