Chief Investment Officer, Inland Private Capital Corp.<\/b><\/p>\n
Greatest Accomplishments: <\/i>Expanding Inland Private Capital\u2019s assets under management from about $100 million when Sehgal joined in 2004 to nearly $2.9 billion today. In the past year alone, the company has acquired upward of $500 million worth of assets. Sehgal has recently negotiated leases valued at more than $150 million. At a 101,000-square-foot retail property in Schaumburg, Ill., he negotiated a 10-year lease extension with a Bed, Bath & Beyond store and a five-year extension with Golfsmith. When the property\u2019s investors decided to put it on the market, it commanded $12.4 million in March 2013.<\/p>\n
Best Advice Received: <\/i>His maternal grandfather told him, \u201cLife does not consist of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.\u201d He also quotes Chinese warrior and philosopher Sun Tsu: \u201cThose who are victorious plan effectively and change decisively. \u2026 They are skilled in both planning and adapting, and need not fear the result of a thousand battles, for they win in advance, defeating those that have already lost.\u201d<\/p>\n
Secrets to Success: <\/i>Sehgal was driven to learn every aspect of the business that touches his work at Inland: capital markets, leasing and property management.<\/p>\n
Greatest Challenge: <\/i>Navigating the real estate capital markets during the depths of the recession. \u201cYou were coming into work every day wondering, \u2018What more bad news is going to break today?\u2019\u201d To tide properties over, Sehgal employed strategies like arranging short-term extensions with lenders and providing loan guarantees through Inland Private Capital itself.<\/p>\n
Advice to Others: <\/i>\u201cYou can\u2019t make this about a paycheck, because it is such a competitive environment. You really have to have that passion.\u201d<\/p>\n
What Others Say About Him: <\/i>\u201cHe\u2019s smart, works very hard and he\u2019s very credible,\u201d said David Lind, an executive vice president and tenant representation specialist for CBRE Group Inc. based in Oak Brook, Ill. In order to retain one of Lind\u2019s clients for a large suburban Chicago office lease, Sehgal recently engineered a complex deal that required bringing in a new lender to refinance the property. \u201cHe\u2019s not trying to win and prove he\u2019s the smartest guy in the world,\u201d Lind explained. \u201cHe\u2019s trying to come up with an effective outcome for his investors and the other people he deals with.\u201d<\/p>\n
