RAW Capital Partners has hired Mark Stevens (pictured) as head of credit.
Stevens has over 40 years of experience in the banking sector, with senior roles in both offshore and onshore credit departments at organisations such as Northern Trust, Butterfield Bank, and Barclays Bank.
Stevens will optimise processes, develop the teams by helping them to better understand and mitigate risks associated with the business, and contribute to the firm’s product development.
The Guernsey-based investment management firm, through the RAW Mortgage Fund, provides specialist mortgages to foreign nationals and UK expats looking to invest in UK buy-to-let (BTL) property, as well as mortgages for Channel Islanders.
Stevens said: “I’m excited to join a smaller, dynamic team with big ambitions in a growing environment.
“The speed and flexibility of RAW Capital Partners’ service offerings were key attributes that attracted me to the role, and I look forward to contributing my experience to the business.
“In a smaller organisation, I believe I can add significant value and help grow the business, taking advantage of the flexibility to make quick decisions free from the complexities often faced by larger banks and financial institutions.”
Ben Nichols, interim managing director of RAW Capital Partners, added: “I’m pleased to welcome Mark to the team.
“It’s an exciting time for the business, and I’m sure that his extensive experience and expertise in credit risk management will be invaluable as we continue to grow and enhance our service offerings.
“I’m excited to see how our products and teams develop under his leadership.”
