Prestige has appointed Rassul Azizi as Credit Director covering its UK operations Prestige Asset Management, and international operations Prestige Capital Management and Prestige Fund Management.
Azizi will also be working across Prestige’s two main finance businesses Privilege and Nucleus providing the important oversight required for a large and active portfolio of lending operations (which, between them, have provided almost GBP2 billion pounds of funding to UK small businesses since they were established).
Azizi joins Prestige from EFG Private Bank in the UK, where he was part of the bank’s credit approval team, structuring credit-based solutions and analysing credit requests. Prior to this he was part of the credit sanctioning team with Credit Suisse in the UK with prior experience at Barclays Bank in the UK.
Craig Reeves, Founder of Prestige, says: “Rassul joins us at an interesting time as we expand both our investment product range and our lending capabilities as part of our drive to develop and diversify our business. We are very pleased to have someone with his excellent track record in the credit market who can bring informed and expert oversight to the operations of our finance companies.”
