George Kenny was named managing director of institutional sales for Greystone’s lending operations. In this newly-created role, Kenny will drive increased debt origination among institutional clients, including REITs, hedge funds, money managers, insurance companies, and family offices. Kenny joins Greystone from Starwood Property Trust, where he headed new business development for real estate investing and servicing. Kenny also previously served as head of mortgage and securitized product sales at UBS and spent 17 years at Bank of America/Merrill Lynch.
“George’s impressive credentials will be an asset as we focus on institutional-level deal expansion,” said Chip Hudson, head of production for conventional and affordable agency loans at Greystone. “Greystone’s growing full-service commercial real estate finance platform can serve an investor of any size across a range of asset classes, and with increased deal activity occurring particularly in the REIT sector, George’s expertise will propel Greystone to the forefront of that client base’s needs.”
