Riikka Moreau will lead business development in Finland, including investments in the aged care and other social asset markets. She will take the position of the Head of Finland of Northern Horizon, will sit on the Nordic Aged Care fund Investment Committee and oversee Northern Horizon’s social responsibility initiatives. Riikka has a background in strategic development, advisory and transactions, with over 15 years of experience in the serviced real state sector. She is returning to her native Helsinki from Paris, where she worked for Vastint Hospitality, heading acquisitions in France. Before that she invested in serviced residences across continental Europe for CapitaLand’s Ascott International.
In Sweden, new Investment Director Jonas Nolin will work with the local healthcare team to grow Northern Horizon’s social asset portfolio. Jonas brings extensive experience in investing and asset management from the Scandinavian Property Group as well as from Hemsö, the leading owner and developer of social assets such as nursing homes and care facilities in Sweden.
We are very proud to have attracted experienced professionals of this calibre. Riikka and Jonas will strengthen our capabilities in the area of senior housing and social living. With a rapidly aging population in the Nordics and throughout Europe, we need to think across different assets classes and offer new concepts in services. Riikka’s skillset and experience in serviced real estate will enable us to capture the benefits of elderly care assets as they evolve, catering to a wider range of age groups and increasingly oriented to the end-user. In addition, with his specific experience in the care sector, Jonas will strengthen our deal sourcing and capital allocation in the highly liquid and competitive Swedish care home market, said Milda Darguzaite, Northern Horizon CEO.
