BrickVest has appointed former head of Colony Capital Europe Jean-Romain Lhomme to its board.
The London-based online real estate investment platform said the appointment would help strengthen its investment offerings.
Lhomme co-headed Colony Capital Europe from 2000 to 2015, where he was responsible for the identification, valuation, execution and monitoring of European investments.
As a technology business angel since 2015, he co-founded PJX10, a laboratory dedicated to innovative start-ups. He is also currently chairman of the supervisory board of BUT and a board member of Endered Group. Lhomme is also the lead investor in the current fundraising round at BrickVest.
He said: “I joined BrickVest because of its potential in a growing sector like proptech. I was really impressed by the founding team and its extensive experience in real estate, investment services and technology. BrickVest not only merges all of this experience, but it does so in a way that has shifted the model of how to invest in real estate across the globe.”
