Jehan has held other senior leadership positions across the sector including at L&Q, where he was regional director of Operations.
Jehan will support the One Housing integration into Riverside, lead on development and operational activities in the capital, and manage stakeholder relationships in London.

Carol Matthews CBE, chief executive of The Riverside Group, said: “I’m delighted that Jehan has been appointed our new MD for One Housing.
“He will play an integral role in The Riverside Group’s executive team and will be responsible for One Housing’s reputation and stakeholder management in London.”

“The group has clear goals and values which align with mine, and I’m looking forward to working with the team to help steer One Housing and the wider group through the many challenges and opportunities ahead.”
Riverside will welcome Jehan to his new role in September 2023.
