Christina Hill will expand her existing Americas-focused Asset Management and global ESG responsibilities in a newly created role as global head of Asset Management and Sustainability.

Adler comments: “Cathy and Raimondo are well-positioned to lead PGIM Real Estate, having each expanded their global and regional responsibilities through a progression of leadership roles over the last several years, and through their established, decade-long partnership driving the strategic initiatives of PGIM Real Estate globally. Delivering strong, long-term returns and outstanding service to our clients hinges on our ability to effectively develop our talent and execute robust succession planning. The incoming leadership team brings significant real estate investment management experience to their roles, and I look forward to continuing to work with them in my expanded role.”
