She took the lead on landmark deals in Japan by M&G including the US$424 million ($582.7 million) acquisition of 30 Japanese multi-family assets in March 2022, several logistics deals, and the purchase of a prime office asset in Osaka.

“The Japanese market continues to attract significant interest from investors from around the world, looking to tap into the country’s post-pandemic recovery. I am excited to lead M&G’s growth here and look forward to continuing bringing high-quality investment opportunities to our clients,” says Ikeda.
