Is There a Will to Keep Investing in Real Estate?

I was actually quite surprised when Blackstone reached out to me about a role to work with institutional clients and do capital raising and investor engagement. I had no experience with that at all. At Goldman, almost all of our capital had come from Heine and Wirth clients; also I had done acquisitions. And so what got me ultimately really excited about the Blackstone opportunity was not so much that I had any confidence that I wanted to do in investor relations or that was my long-term career destiny.
