Hines has named Amit Diwan as Head of Asia Pacific and the Middle East, giving him a broader regional leadership role as the global real assets investment manager adjusts its operating structure. The move comes as the company works to strengthen coordination and consistency across important markets.
Diwan previously led Hines' platform in India. In his expanded position, he is expected to oversee growth across key real estate markets in Asia Pacific and the Middle East, reflecting the firm's emphasis on closer alignment across the region.
As part of the leadership update, Jon Tanaka will turn his attention to strategic projects in Japan and Korea. The change indicates a more defined division of responsibilities within Hines as it positions senior executives around priority markets and long-term regional opportunities.
The appointment highlights Hines' continued focus on Asia Pacific and the Middle East, where major cities remain important to global property investment and development strategies. By elevating an internal leader with experience in India, the firm appears to be aiming for continuity while sharpening its regional growth approach.
