Cohort Capital has appointed Alex Alexandrou (pictured) as its head of sales for residential lending. Alexandrou will spearhead the sales for Cohort Capital’s ResiOne product, which caters for property transactions between £1m and £10m-plus. He will work on “expanding sales infrastructure, deepening intermediary relationships, and generating new deal flow”, especially in its residential prime and commercial lending segments. Alexandrou joins from Octopus Real Estate, where he worked for nine years, most recently as head of residential sales. Cohort’s focus on flexible, tailored funding aligns perfectly with my own experience in building residential lending propositions that genuinely support brokers and their clients.
