I have been in venture capital for over 10 years. Half of that time I have focussed on PropTech and most recently at MetaProp. I started my investing career in FinTech at Morgan Stanley in the early 2010s and then I worked at a fund that spun out of Cisco. We were investing in digital infrastructure, including smart cities and IOT and that's what led me to PropTech. [02:55] Jacinda, can you tell us about your journey? I started out at PwC and I worked mostly on commercial real estate clients. My first time with Tiaa was back in 2013 and I did commercial mortgage originations as well as equity investments on the West Coast. I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina and was the first finance hire for Remote Year. I worked for Selina for about 10 months after that. After that, I came back to Nuveen where my focus is customers, community and the experience of our end users as well as engaging around ESG. [06:30] Jeanne, what do you think can be done to attract more diversity to this space? The crux of the issue is around retaining, promoting and genuinely empowering diverse talent that's already within the organisation. [07:20] What is Nuveen doing in terms of their hiring? Jeanne and I sit on the Insights Team which is led by Abigail Dean and that team includes our research team, sustainability, PropTech, Customers & Communication and Innovation. [09:40] There is a lot of women leadership at Nuveen, what do you think can be done to increase this? I think it's beyond just attracting and recruiting diverse talent. It is about retaining, promoting and empowering the talent that already sits within an organisation. Our DEI initiatives are more genuine and actually reflect what our teams look like. [11:45] Jacinda, you are from more of a real estate side, what have you seen in terms of diversity and inclusion? We're making meaningful progress. There have been a lot of reports around the benefits of diversity. Implicit bias training has been a really important step for us. It's important to hire outside of the same sets of colleges that might have strong, finance or real estate programs. [19:50] Is there anything more you want to delve into about what you've seen in the more VC (corporate side), or within the startups? I've seen a lot of genuine improvement over the decade. I've always been at the intersection of finance and technology and both of those are historically very male dominated, very white dominated and a little bit older. I think that's largely, or at least in the process of changing quite a bit. Boardrooms and investment teams look quite a bit different than when I started just 10 years ago. [19:10] Talk us through the focus for 2022. Our tomorrow's world strategy, there are three key things that we focus on; sustainability, technology and demographics. We have what we call a smart, sustainable building blueprint (SSBB) and there are a number of categories that we think really tied to those three overarching themes; energy, water, waste, resilience, health, and wealth, tenants & community, leasing and data & digitalisation. We want to build on our partnership with Fitwell. We'll be launching a VC strategy in the coming months. The two, overarching themes are; a data strategy and tools and new technologies that help unlock our own proprietary data across our massive portfolio. the intersection of sustainability and ESG with PropTech [27:40] What do you think the industry could do better as a whole to move things forward in terms of adoption/integration? Incentives alignment is an area that is still fairly nebulous. Cascading goals around our own compensation targets that are specifically tied to sustainability and innovation goals. Rethinking how our buildings work, but also rethinking how we work. [31:40] The ‘LMRE' part, Louisa asks the guests to talk about: Lessons learned in your career Jeanne: Throw out for a 5- or 10-year plan. Mention a person, product or service Jacinda: Our asset management teams and then the properties that sign up and do pilots. Cushman & Wakefield and Industrious Office Rewarding parts of working in the space: Jeanne: I love real estate and PropTech because I love seeing the tangible impacts on the ways that people work, live and spend all of our time. What are you most Excited about for the future of the space?: Jacinda: Data Standardisation and Climate Tech.
