PGIM appoints senior APAC BDM role
PGIM Private Alternatives has appointed a Sydney-based vice president for Asia-Pacific business development.
Daniel Greyling has joined from MLC Asset Management where he worked as director of institutional sales, managing the firm’s sales and marketing strategy for its public and private products. Prior to this, he spent 12 years at Russell Investments in a variety of roles including head of institutional sales-Australia and head of global ESG sales.
In the newly created role at PGIM, he will work as a vice president in the Asia-Pacific business development team as it looks to strengthen its alternatives franchise in the region.
Based in Sydney, he will be responsible for developing and managing PGIM Private Alternatives’ institutional client relationships across APAC, with a focus on Australia and South-East Asia. This includes capital raising, business development and product development for its global real estate debt and equity strategies, as well as private credit and private equity investment solutions.
Greyling will report to Eduard Wehry, head of Asia-Pacific Business Development at PGIM Private Alternatives.
Wehry said: “Daniel’s appointment reflects our commitment to deepening our alternatives capabilities and expanding our foothold in APAC under the new PGIM Private Alternatives business. With his strong in-market expertise and proven track record in building institutional relationships, I am confident that Daniel will play an instrumental role in supporting the growth of the business, especially at a time when institutional clients continue to increase their allocations to private alternatives.”
PGIM Private Alternatives was formed in September 2013 and currently manages US$320 billion in private alternative strategies across private credit and equity, real estate equity and debt and agriculture.
These strategies are managed by PGIM Real Estate (real estate and agriculture), PGIM Private Capital (private credit, infrastructure debt), and Montana Capital Partners (private equity secondaries).
