Westfort Advisors are delighted to announce the appointment of Tom Boize as an Associate Director.
Tom will focus on executing debt advisory mandates across the UK and Europe. His experience spans the capital stack, in both debt and equity, across all asset classes.
He previously worked in the Debt Capital Markets team at Victoria Asset Management, Oaktree’s integrated real estate asset management business. Prior to that, he worked at Newcore Capital Management, working to optimise external debt financing across their value-add and core-plus strategies. Prior to Newcore, Tom worked in the corporate finance team at CBRE Capital Advisors where he focused on debt and structured finance, equity placement and M&A mandates across Europe.
Deepak Drubhra, co-founder at Westfort Advisors said:
“The European debt market has significantly changed the position of many borrowers and their outlook on debt. Many borrowers are either searching for debt which remains accretive or defensive refinances to allow an exit in better market conditions. This is combined with a continuing number of new entrants in the lending market. Clients are therefore increasingly leaning on our structuring experience, creative and hands-on approach. Tom’s experience across the debt and equity market compliments our offering of being a trusted advisor and we are delighted to have him join the team.”
