Based in Helsinki, Lehtinen will support the ongoing development and execution of Barings’ asset management projects in Finland and the wider Nordics, reporting directly to Göran Bengtsson.
 
Lehtinen brings more than 13 years’ experience in financial services and the real estate industry, most recently at LocalTapiola Real Estate Management where she has been a leasing manager in the Helsinki metropolitan area since 2013. 
 
“This appointment to our asset management team is yet another example of Barings’ commitment to the region, an important component of our long-term European strategy. Lehtinen has a proven track record of devising, overseeing and implementing often complex asset management programmes and we are very pleased to have her join the team,” says Göran Bengtsson, Managing Director and Country Head of the Nordics.
 
“Increasing our local expertise as we further develop our European platform is crucial to ensuring our continued success in important markets like the Nordics, which has robust economic credentials and a well-positioned real estate market,” says Charles Weeks, Head of Real Estate Europe.
