LOOKING to accelerate its growth after being acquired by HMC Capital, commercial real estate private debt fund manager Payton Capital has appointed former NAB executive Peter Loukas as its new state manager, Victoria.
Loukas will head the Victorian borrower services team.
With over 25 years of experience in the banking and finance industry, Loukas has deep expertise in both SME and corporate banking, particularly within the property sector. His previous roles include commercial real estate executive at NAB, and senior leadership positions at Bendigo Bank and other notable roles within NAB, such as associate director for deal structuring and associate director of corporate property.
“We’re excited to have Peter on board as we continue to build on the momentum in the non- bank lending sector and right on the heels of our recent acquisition by ASX listed HMC Capital,” said Jeremy Townend, co-head Payton Capital.
“Peter’s extensive industry knowledge and proven leadership will be crucial as we pursue our growth strategy and capitalise on emerging opportunities.”
David Di Pilla’s HMC Capital, harbouring aims to build a $5 billion private credit platform, acquired Payton Capital in a $127.5 million deal in May.
Loukas said, “This is an exciting time to join a leading commercial real estate private credit business, which is undergoing significant growth.
“I’m eager to work with the dedicated team at Payton Capital to drive our market share in Victoria.”
