Since 2022, Mistry has served as chief financial officer for Pure. In his new role, Mistry oversees Pure’s leadership team and is responsible for the overall strategy and investment activities of the business across Canada. He reports to Luke J. Petherbridge, chief executive officer, Link Logistics. Mistry’s focus includes continuously building Pure’s operational excellence, top-tier customer service and people-first culture.
Link Logistics, which operates as Pure Industrial in Canada, owns and operates nearly 500 million square feet of warehouse and distribution space across 3,000 properties in North America. Its portfolio spans more than 40 markets and supports critical supply chains for customers across a wide range of industries.

I look forward to working with our employees, customers, partners and communities to build on our leadership in Canada while delivering the benefits of a premier North American platform.”
Mistry succeeds Pure’s former president and chief operating officer David Owen, who has stepped down from the organization after helping transform Pure into a market-leading industrial real estate platform with more than 42 million square feet of prime properties serving over 1,200 customers across Canada.
“On behalf of our entire organization, I want to thank David for his leadership, partnership and unwavering vision,” said Petherbridge. “Through periods of significant growth and transformation, he helped build one of Canada's most respected industrial real estate platforms and a strong foundation for long-term growth.
