PGIM appoints Zineb Jamai as head of France real estate

Global real estate firm PGIM has named Zineb Jamai as its new head of France for its real estate business. 

Zineb Jamai

Jamai, who joined PGIM in 2015, previously served as the head of Transactions for France, Spain, and Portugal.
In her new role, based in Paris, Jamai will oversee PGIM's investment and asset management portfolios in France. She will also continue to be involved in identifying and executing transactions within France. Jamai will report to Nabil Mabed, who is the head of Value-Add Equity for Europe and will now focus on overseeing PGIM's business in Spain and Portugal.
Jamai brings over 17 years of experience to this position, including senior roles at Colliers International and Unibail-Rodamco before joining PGIM. She has played a key role in expanding PGIM's real estate holdings in France, which include a varied portfolio of industrial, prime office, residential, and self-storage properties.
Nabil Mabed, head of Value-Add Equity, Europe, PGIM’s real estate business, said: “Zineb has grown with and alongside the business in France, where we have a longstanding presence and a demonstrable track record in performance. Zineb’s appointment is a natural evolution and further demonstrates our conviction that France remains an important market for delivering resilient income growth and long‑term value across our core, core plus and value-add equity strategies in Europe.”
Zineb Jamai, head of France, PGIM’s real estate business, added: “France continues to present a compelling investment opportunity on two fronts. Cyclically, short-term price dislocation across high-quality assets is creating attractive entry points, while resilient demand and constrained supply are defined as the structural fundamentals supporting long-term value. We see France’s repricing as a window of opportunity to secure attractive risk-adjusted returns for our investors, where our local teams can deploy capital selectively and at scale into assets where the long-term growth story is clear.”
