Global Real Estate

We placed the Head of Americas for Real Estate for ADIC (Abu Dhabi Investment Council).

We expanded the Blackstone relationship meaningfully, working this year with Blackstone proper as well as 3 of their real estate portfolio companies, including 2 CSuite positions, and executed within both the real estate and functions teams 4 clients for whom we have completed 3 or more searches this year (Cerberus, AEW, Breakthrough, Blackstone).

We’re pleased to say in the first full year of the ESG specific practice, from a standing start, we managed to place seven candidates and work on ten searches in total; the rest of which we expect to complete in early 2023 Roles have included ESG Sector Analysts across Industrials, Healthcare, TMT, Financials, and retail, as well as the newly created Climate Change Analysts and ESG quants

Part of the success in the searches has come from where we have been able to source candidates from: of the seven placed candidates, only one came from the same industry as the client.

Diversity has also been a success, with over 70% of the hires being women, and if we include broader diversity metrics all but one of the hires were diverse

Finally, we’re delighted to say that we’ve also had good success working with different parts of the business. ESG is still dominated by asset management but the practice has also successfully collaborated with the Energy & Sustainable Resources, Insurance and CTS practices for a number of searches and pitches Long may the collaboration continue
