Gina Faridniya joined Mapletree as the firm’s first North American communications hire and quickly built the U.S. corporate communications function from the ground up. A former journalist, Faridniya single-handedly generated more than 150 earned media stories in her first year, establishing the Group as a leading investor in U.S. commercial real estate. She built a powerful narrative around $1.2 billion in industrial dispositions, including the $328 million sale of a shallow-bay portfolio. Faridniya also launched the firm's U.S. LinkedIn presence, growing it to over 5,000 followers in nine months, and secured 13 executive speaking opportunities at key industry events. Her background as an editor at Mansion Global and producer for Bloomberg informs her proactive PR strategy, which has successfully positioned Mapletree’s multi-billion-dollar U.S. portfolio. She has been recognized by Ragan as a "Top Woman in Communications" for her visionary leadership.
