Julie Arrowsmith Appointed to Invesco Real Estate Income Trust Board

Invesco Real Estate Income Trust is making a key move on its Board. On July 1, 2025, Julie Arrowsmith will step in as the company’s newest director, taking over the seat left vacant by James H. Forson. Forson, an independent director, will retire from the Board on June 30 as he shifts his focus to other professional responsibilities.

The transition isn’t just about filling a seat—it’s about keeping leadership momentum intact. Arrowsmith will also join the audit committee, where her background in financial reporting and governance will be immediately put to use.

Career Highlights

Her career spans over 25 years, with a steady focus on finance, strategy, and leadership in real estate and hospitality. Most recently, she served as CEO of G6 Hospitality, which operates Motel 6 and Studio 6. She led the company through its sale in late 2024 after more than a decade as CFO.

Prior to her time at G6, Arrowsmith spent 17 years in senior roles at Accor North America and began her career in audit at Deloitte.

Board and Academic Involvement

Outside of her executive work, Arrowsmith serves on the board of the University of North Texas College of Merchandising, Hospitality and Tourism. She earned a degree in accounting from Texas A&M University, is a licensed CPA in Texas, and maintains membership with the National Association of Corporate Directors.

She qualifies as an audit committee financial expert under SEC guidelines and will receive the same compensation as other non-employee directors on the Board.

Governance and Compliance

There are no family relationships or related-party transactions involving Arrowsmith that require disclosure. Her appointment maintains Invesco Real Estate’s alignment with compliance standards and adds depth to the Board’s financial oversight capabilities.

With this change, Invesco Real Estate ensures it continues to bring experienced financial leadership into its oversight process—keeping strategy and accountability moving forward.
