Inland Institutional Adds Associate General Counsel and Head of Capital Formation
The Inland Real Estate Group has named Jacqueline Dagan as associate general counsel and Dhaval Parikh as head of institutional capital formation at Inland Institutional LLC, the Oak Brook, Ill.-based company’s institutional asset management platform.
Dagan brings more than two decades of legal experience across investment management, real estate funds, and alternative assets. She most recently served as general counsel and chief compliance officer at TOMS Capital Investment Management, where she oversaw legal and compliance functions for a $3 billion long/short hedge fund. Earlier in her career, Dagan held senior legal roles at BentallGreenOak and MetLife Investment Management, advising on fund launches, managed accounts, private placements, side letters, regulatory filings, and global licensing matters.
She earned her Juris Doctor from Fordham University School of Law and will report to Inland’s general counsel.
At Inland Institutional, Parikh will lead institutional capital formation efforts, support new product development, and cultivate institutional investor relationships. He brings nearly 20 years of experience in capital raising, investor relations, and product development. Before joining Inland, Parikh served as head of capital raising and investor relations at Parkview Financial, where he led a team focused on global capital formation across institutional and private wealth channels. He previously held leadership roles at Ares Management, MetLife Investment Management, and BlackRock.
He holds a Master of Business Administration from Baruch College, in addition to a bachelor’s degree from Stony Brook University.
Both Dagan and Parikh will report to Lou Kruk, chief executive officer of Inland Institutional.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jacqueline and Dhaval to the Inland organization,” Kruk said. “Their distinguished careers, coupled with demonstrated leadership and consistent high performance and achievements, underscore Inland Institutional’s commitment to strengthening its executive bench as it continues to scale its platform, serve investors, and pursue new opportunities across the market.”
The appointments continue a run of senior hires Inland has made across its platforms in 2026. In January, the company named Matthew Fries chief executive officer and president of Inland Investments, its retail-focused investment management arm, following Keith Lampi’s departure. In March, it appointed Michael Collins as head of global wealth for Inland Securities Corporation, the dealer-manager and placement agent for Inland-sponsored programs, and named Catherine Lynch as chief of staff to chief executive officer Tony Chereso.
