FutureGen Event 'An evening with Edward Dixon of Aviva Investors'

The AREF FutureGen Committee is delighted to invite members of the FutureGen Network to the second event in a new series called 'An Evening With'.

These events are small, intimate events, where a fireside chat takes place with someone from the real estate funds industry - looking at their career highlights to date and lessons learned along the way.  The events will also include a networking opportunity.

The second event kicks will be on the afternoon of Thursday 25 July 2024, at Alter Domus offices in The Gherkin, with an interview with Edward Dixon, Head of Sustainability - Private Markets at Aviva Investors.  Ed will share the inside story of his ‘boiler suit to boardroom’ career, as well as his take on how ESG and sustainability are evolving in private markets and real estate investing.

You can read Ed's full biography below.
