Clint Hinds
The board of directors of BGO Industrial Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., a non-traded real estate investment trust sponsored by global institutional investment management firm BentallGreenOak, appointed Clint Hinds to serve as the company’s chief executive officer and president, effective Dec. 31, 2024.
Hinds, age 54, has been a managing director on the portfolio management team at the BentallGreenOak (U.S.) limited partnership since July 2019. Hinds joined Bentall Kennedy, a predecessor firm to BentallGreenOak, in 2009 with similar responsibilities to lead several client relationships. Since that time, the company said he has helped form the investment strategy for multiple clients and closed-end funds.
As a leader on the portfolio management team, Hinds has concentrated on the implementation of investment strategies across multiple real estate sectors including industrial, data centers, healthcare, and the multifamily sectors. During this time, according to the company, he has shaped multiple joint ventures focused on the development and acquisition of properties which have grown the portfolios under his management.
Prior to joining Bentall Kennedy, Hinds served as an executive director at Morgan Stanley from 1995 to 2009. Prior to joining Morgan Stanley, he held various positions at Lend Lease on the asset management, acquisitions, portfolio, and accounting teams.
Hinds holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Georgia and an MBA with a concentration in finance from Georgia State University.
Hinds’ appointment coincides with the resignation of Michael Glimcher from his position as CEO and president of the company. Glimcher delivered his notice of resignation to the board on Nov. 6. According to the board, his resignation is not due to any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to the company’s operations, policies, or practices. Glimcher will continue to serve as a member of the board.
