Ren left her former role as a real estate investment banker focused on China at Morgan Stanley last year, amid a drop of property deals in the world’s second-largest economy. She was based in Hong Kong as a managing director at the US firm.
Mapletree Investments, owned by Temasek Holdings, has hired a former Morgan Stanley banker to lead its struggling commercial business in China.
Lida Ren was appointed as the property manager’s commercial chief executive officer in China, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing private matters. A Mapletree spokesperson declined to comment.
