Kenny Lam takes on the role of managing director, head of Asia Real Estate Investments, with immediate effect. Lam will be located at Manulife’s Lee Garden office in Hong Kong.
In this new role, he will source and execute acquisitions in Asia and assist with the growth of Manulife Real Estate’s acquisition platform into new markets, the firm said in a statement.
