Zaidner joins from Cogress, the property-focused private equity platform, where he spent the past four years as marketing director and helped to grow its investor base.
“These high-calibre appointments come at a pivotal time for CapitalRise as we see interest surge from both investors attracted to our secure, income-led investment proposition and borrowers who continue to struggle to access suitable finance,” said Uma Rajah, co-founder and chief executive at CapitalRise.
