It is with a great deal of excitement that I write to share the good news that we have hired an associate director for the Steers Center for Global Real Estate. Sunil Madan joined the center in early September following 20 years working in the United States, Europe and Asia in the private sector, including within the commercial real estate debt groups at Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank. Having recently relocated to Washington from London with his wife, Sebnem, Sunil brings a tremendous wealth of experience to the Steers Center and will help to build out the areas of real estate debt and our international strategy. He also will be teaching the Real Estate Public Debt course, which will complete the Four Quadrant curriculum that we have established with our other distinguished faculty. Moreover, he will be a day-to-day partner in helping us reach the ambitious goals we have set for the center. Please join me in welcoming Sunil to Georgetown and the Steers Center as we are very fortunate to have him on our team.
