SAN FRANCISCO (Feb. 19, 2025) – Prologis, the global leader in logistics real estate, today announced the retirement of its
co-founder, Hamid R. Moghadam, from his CEO role, effective January 1, 2026. After more than four decades of visionary leadership, Moghadam will continue as executive chairman, providing strategic
guidance consistent with the company’s mission of “enduring excellence.”
As part of the company’s succession plan, Dan Letter,
currently president, will succeed Moghadam as CEO. Letter, who has been with Prologis since 2004, is well prepared to lead the company into its next phase of growth, with deep industry experience and a leadership style rooted in collaboration and
innovation. Letter will also join the company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately.
CEO Transition in 2026
Moghadam co-founded Prologis’ predecessor, AMB Property Corporation, in 1983 in San Francisco. Under his
leadership, the company grew from a startup to a global leader, with a successful IPO in 1997 and its merger with ProLogis in 2011. Moghadam’s focus on delivering value to customers, employees, communities and investors became the cornerstone
of Prologis’ mission and culture.
“This transition has been carefully planned to ensure Prologis’ continued success,” said Moghadam.
“Having worked closely with Dan for more than 20 years, I have full confidence in his leadership. He embodies our values and is committed to the company’s long-term vision. I look forward to supporting him and the leadership team in my new
role.”
Moghadam continued, “Today, Dan is responsible for the majority of Prologis’ business lines, including global real estate
operations, capital deployment, strategic capital and Prologis Essentials. He has played a key role in Prologis’ tremendous growth and is uniquely qualified to guide the company forward.”
Letter commented: “Hamid started this company more than four decades ago and has taken it to unbelievable heights. Given our scale, role in the supply
chain and disciplined approach to our balance sheet, our future is very bright. I am excited to continue to work with Hamid and the rest of the management team to grow and strengthen the company.”
Irving F. “Bud” Lyons, lead independent director for Prologis’ Board of Directors, said: “We are deeply grateful for Hamid’s
transformative leadership. Hamid’s 40-plus-year tenure—starting as an entrepreneurial co-founder and evolving into the CEO of a major public company—is a
rare achievement in today’s corporate world. We are confident that Dan is the right leader to guide Prologis in its next chapter, and this transition underscores the strength and continuity of our leadership team.”
Dan Letter
Prior to becoming president, Letter was
global head of capital deployment, where he had responsibility for the company’s Investment Committee, deployment pipeline management and multi-market portfolio acquisitions and dispositions.
