Business Intelligence Developer/Analyst

Heitman appoints Dan Butler Senior Vice President of Consultant Relations. October 20, 2026 Dan Butler Heitman, a Chicago-based global real estate investment management firm with $49 billion in assets under management, has appointed Dan Butler as Senior Vice President, Consultant Relations, strengthening its institutional investor coverage and capital raising capabilities. Butler joins Heitman's Client Service & Marketing group, where he will focus on relationship management and business development with investment consultants and outsourced chief investment officers (OCIOs). His responsibilities will include expanding the firm's engagement with institutional investment advisors and supporting capital formation across its global real estate investment platform. The appointment reflects Heitman's efforts to strengthen its relationships with institutional distribution channels as investors evaluate opportunities across private real estate equity, debt and publicly traded real estate securities. "Dan's combination of consulting, fundraising, and investor relations experience makes him an exceptional addition to our team," said John Mancuso, Head of Global Sales at Heitman. Mancuso said Butler's understanding of institutional investment markets and experience raising capital across real assets strategies will support Heitman's relationships with consultants and their clients. Butler brings nearly 20 years of experience in capital raising, investor relations and investment advisory services, with a focus on real estate and other real assets investment strategies. Most recently, he worked in the Private Capital Advisory group at Sera Global, where he was involved in advisory activities related to private capital markets. Before joining Sera Global, Butler held capital raising and investor relations positions at Round Hill Capital, Brookfield Asset Management and ARA. Across those organizations, he worked on capital formation initiatives for real assets investment vehicles and developed relationships with institutional investors in international markets. His experience includes supporting fundraising strategies, managing investor relationships and working with investment organizations seeking capital for real estate and related investment opportunities. At Heitman, Butler will apply that background to the consultant relations function, which plays an important role in connecting institutional asset managers with pension funds, endowments, foundations and other long-term investors. Investment consultants advise institutional clients on portfolio construction, asset allocation, manager selection and investment oversight. OCIO providers take on broader delegated investment responsibilities, including portfolio management and the implementation of investment strategies on behalf of institutional clients. For investment management firms, maintaining relationships with these organizations is an important component of institutional distribution because consultants and OCIOs often participate in evaluating and recommending investment managers. Butler's role will involve strengthening Heitman's coverage of these relationships while supporting business development opportunities across the firm's investment strategies. The appointment also adds experience in fundraising across different real assets investment structures, an area that requires coordination between investment teams, institutional clients and external advisors. "Our industry continues to evolve as investors navigate a dynamic market environment," Butler said. "Heitman has built a strong reputation for investment excellence and client partnership. I'm excited to join the firm and help deepen relationships with consultants and their clients while supporting the continued growth of Heitman's platform." Butler holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from DePauw University. He is also a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder and a Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) charterholder. His professional credentials reflect experience in investment analysis, portfolio management and alternative investments, areas relevant to institutional real estate investment strategies. Founded in 1966, Heitman manages real estate investments through private equity, debt and publicly traded securities. The firm's investment platform provides institutional clients with access to different segments of the real estate market through strategies designed to address varying investment objectives, risk profiles and liquidity requirements. Private real estate equity investments generally involve ownership interests in properties or real estate portfolios, while debt strategies focus on financing opportunities within the property market. Publicly traded real estate securities provide exposure to listed real estate companies and investment vehicles. These different approaches allow institutional investors to consider real estate allocations within broader investment portfolios. As of June 30, 2026, Heitman reported $49 billion in assets under management. The firm is globally headquartered in Chicago, maintains its European headquarters in London and operates 10 offices worldwide. Its international presence supports investment activity and client relationships across major real estate markets. Heitman's consultant relations efforts are part of its broader institutional capital formation strategy, which focuses on developing relationships with organizations that advise and manage assets for large investors. The addition of Butler provides dedicated senior-level coverage for these channels as the firm continues marketing its investment capabilities to institutional clients. His previous experience at Brookfield Asset Management, Round Hill Capital, ARA and Sera Global provides familiarity with institutional fundraising processes and the requirements of investors evaluating real assets strategies. Those responsibilities often involve communicating investment objectives, portfolio characteristics, risk considerations and performance information to consultants and investment committees. The ability to coordinate these discussions is particularly relevant in real estate investment management, where investment structures, valuation practices and liquidity considerations can differ significantly from those associated with traditional publicly traded securities. For Heitman, strengthening consultant engagement supports its ability to communicate investment strategies and maintain relationships with institutional investors across different markets. Butler's appointment adds an experienced capital formation executive to the firm's Client Service & Marketing organization, reinforcing its institutional distribution capabilities and supporting the continued development of Heitman's global real estate investment business.
