Avamore Capital expands underwriting team
Avamore Capital has hired Gili Cohen as its fourth underwriter.
"Gili is a quick thinker with a solution driven lens, and I have no doubt that he’ll make a huge contribution to the Avamore team."
Gili joins Avamore after spending three years at Pluto Finance where he was responsible for underwriting loans predominately in the £10m+ space. His prior experience on larger ticket transactions will elevate Avamore’s capacity to access deals outside of the lender’s current parameters.
Gili has historically been involved in transactions from front end origination, deal assessment and underwriting right through to asset management.
Gili said: “I am pleased to be joining a fast growing and dynamic team with a developer centric focus which will allow me to work with like-minded and forward-thinking individuals. Avamore is on a significant growth trajectory; having the opportunity to drive that success whilst bringing in my prior experience to add value is truly exciting. I am looking forward to supporting Avamore’s borrowers and brokers as well as forming strong relationships with all of its service providers.”
Philip Gould, Principal, commented: “Gili’s hire comes at a crucial growth stage for Avamore. Earlier this year we crossed £250m of lending and then subsequently reached £300m very quickly which is a reflection of our commitment and dedication to delivering for our partners. It is key that everyone we bring into the team demonstrates that same level of drive and tenacity along with a can-do attitude. Gili is a quick thinker with a solution driven lens, and I have no doubt that he’ll make a huge contribution to the Avamore team.”
