CBRE Capital Advisors has named Matt Murray as an executive director and head of EMEA loan servicing.
Murray joins from Mount Street Group, where he was executive director and head of primary servicing. He replaces Steve Harle in the role, who is moving into a strategic position as head of business development and operations.
Murray will report to global head of loan services Clarence Dixon and manage CBRE’s 55-strong loan servicing team in the UK, Germany and Spain. He will be responsible for the team’s continued expansion as well as implementing technology and new servicing products, such as corporate and infrastructure loans.
During his time at Mount Street, Murray managed 22 employees and oversaw a portfolio of more than 300 commercial real estate loans across the UK and Europe. His team was also the appointed servicer on 20 CMBS transactions with more than £10bn exposure.
Prior to Mount Street, Murray held roles at a number of finance houses including Hudson Advisors, Hatfield Philips, Puma Property Finance and Deutsche Bank. He has more than 18 years of experience in the credit and finance industry.
Dixon said Murray’s hire comes on the back of “rapid growth” in its loan services division over the past few years.
He added: “Matt’s broad range of client contacts and his wealth of experience in driving operational improvements will be invaluable as we strive to continue to provide a best-in-class service for our clients.”
In the EMEA markets, CBRE’s loan servicing team has more than £55bn of assets under management and manages 675 loans across Europe. So far in 2021, the team has onboarded £9bn of new loans in Europe.
