Meet Ibtissem Sfaxi, Co-Head of Global Business Development at PGIM Real Estate.
Ibtissem reflects on her unconventional journey into the industry, from studying psycholinguistics to capital raising, the mentors who shaped her career, and the life experiences that have influenced her approach to leadership. She offers her perspective on what it takes to succeed in capital raising, where relationships and trust matter just as much as performance.
She also shares her views on the global real estate investment landscape, from the growing importance of “Everyday Life” real estate to how investor expectations are evolving in an increasingly selective market.
