The asset management firm, JP Morgan has hired senior investor relations executive Rob Johnson to join their Asset Management’s Global Real Estate Assets division in China.

Johnson previously worked at The Blackstone Group in Asia where he was dedicated to growing their real estate coverage in China.  He will now be the managing director and head of global business development for China real estate. Johnson will report to O’Brien, the head of real estate assets client relations and strategy in Hong Kong. = this doesn’t make sense in English..?

O’Brien states that Johnson has immense experience and understanding of China’s demographic, which will be of great benefit to JP Morgan.
