AXA IM Alts has announced senior appointments to head two key regions as it pursues its global growth ambitions.
Laurent Jacquemin, currently head of Asia-Pacific, has been appointed head of North America. He will succeed Steve McCarthy, who has decided to retire at the end of the year after almost 13 years with AXA IM Alts and following a distinguished career spanning over 35 years in real estate investment management.
Jacquemin brings more than 25 years of real estate industry experience, having joined AXA IM Alts in 2001. Since 2018, he has been responsible for the significant growth and diversification of the firm’s Asia- Pacific real estate operations, including an increase in assets under management in the region to over US$8 billion.
In his new role, Jacquemin will be based in New York and lead a 60-strong team managing US$22 billion of real estate assets with responsibility for overseeing both equity and debt investment strategies and further expanding the firm’s real estate footprint in the region.
Antoine Mesnage has been promoted to head of Asia-Pacific, effective July 1st, while continuing his role as head of Australia.
Mesnage brings nearly 20 years of real estate investment management expertise and a deep understanding of local markets in both Europe and Asia-Pacific. Having joined AXA IM Alts in 2010, Mesnage has led the Australian business since 2022 and the firm’s entry into residential sectors in the country.
Mesnage will continue in his current role while taking on responsibility for the management and strategic development of the firm’s real estate activities in Asia-Pacific and its entire 40-strong team in the region.
