Hodes Weill, an advisory and investment business focused on the real estate private equity and private funds industry, has appointed Susan Swanezy as a partner.
Swanezy was previously a managing director and head of distribution for Credit Suisse’s real estate investments group.
“The perspective and expertise Susan has gained from her 25 years in the real estate industry will be a vital addition to our business as we continue to work with managers, investors and lenders to navigate the issues presented by the current market dislocation,” says Doug Weill, co-founder and managing partner of Hodes Weill. “In addition to her structuring and advisory skills, Susan has a longstanding and extensive network of institutional investor relationships. We are pleased to welcome Susan to the firm.”
"I am excited to continue my professional relationship with David, Doug and the rest of the team at Hodes Weill," says Swanezy. "I look forward to participating in the firm’s expansion and believe that, given our collective skills, we will be well-positioned to address the crucial challenges facing real estate investors and fund managers."
Prior to joining Credit Suisse, Swanezy focused on client relations and business development at Stockbridge Capital Partners.
Previously, she was a partner in Deutsche Bank Rreef’s client relations group, where she worked with institutional investors across a variety of real estate investment strategies. Swanezy also held senior roles in Deutsche Bank’s real estate arm, DB Real Estate, and played a leading role in the firm’s acquisition of Rreef.
