(HOUSTON) – Hines, the global real estate investment manager, today announced that the stockholders of Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (“Hines Global Income Trust” or “HGIT”) voted in favor of the election of all seven nominees for HGIT’s board of directors, including new director Diane S. Paddison and returning director Laura Hines-Pierce, effective as of the conclusion of HGIT’s annual meeting of stockholders on October 1, 2024. The two directors bring invaluable viewpoints shaped by their experience as leaders in commercial real estate. As distinguished women in the industry, their presence will also bring additional diversity of thought to board discussions and decision-making.

“We are excited to tap into the expertise that Diane and Laura bring to the table as we continue our efforts to build and maintain a robust global portfolio that resonates with stockholders,” said Alfonso Munk, Americas CIO for HGIT. “We believe their guidance will further enhance Hines Global Income Trust and its strong position in the market, also having satisfied all redemption requests since inception.”

Diane S. Paddison joins the board with a wealth of executive experience in global commercial real estate. She previously served as the Chief Strategy Officer of Cassidy Turley and Chief Operating Officer of ProLogis. Paddison started her career at CB Richard Ellis and Trammell Crow and spent over 20 years at the company in various roles, including Chief Operating Officer of Global Services.

Laura Hines-Pierce serves as the Co-Chief Executive Officer at Hines, where she works alongside Jeff Hines to help shape firm-wide strategy and manage key risks. In this role, Hines-Pierce helps to lead the global real estate firm into its next era and establish its legacy as an innovative company driving change across the real estate and investment management industries. Hines-Pierce joined Hines in 2012.
