Deutsche Finance International has appointed Ben McComb to the newly created position of chief financial officer.
McComb joins from Henderson Park where he was financial director. He has more than 18 years of experience leading finance teams within private equity, including stints at Brockton Capital and Doughty Hanson.
Frank Roccogrande, co-founder and co-managing partner, at DFI, said: “This is a very important time for DFI as we continue to execute our strategy for growth, a key part of which is ensuring we attract and retain the very best talent. The combination of Ben’s wealth of industry experience and his personality are perfectly aligned to DFI’s own ambitions and culture and we look forward to working with him to achieve our goals. We have made several key hires in recent months and the calibre of these new colleagues is fundamental to our ability to deliver strong returns to investors through our customer-centric approach to real estate investing.”
McComb added: “The challenges currently faced by the real estate sector present opportunities for entrepreneurial firms like DFI to act quickly and decisively to create value on behalf of investors. DFI is well placed to take advantage of these opportunities and I look forward to working closely with the team as it continues to grow and evolve its business.”
DFI manages more than €2.4bn (£2.2bn) of assets and specialises in customer-centric real estate. Since 2017, the firm has committed to more than €2bn of value-add and opportunistic investments across six markets in Europe, including London’s Olympia Exhibition Centre.
