Oxford Properties has appointed former Bank of America director Tina Pristovsek as vice president for real estate finance and capital markets in Europe.
Based in London, she will help develop and implement financing strategies for Oxford’s European business.
Pristovsek will also be responsible for monitoring and managing the company’s €3bn (£2.6bn) existing European debt portfolio, including coordinating its loan compliance efforts in the region. In addition, she will continue to build and strengthen relationships with Oxford’s European and global lending partners.
Pristovsek joins following more than 11 years at Bank of America, most recently as a director in the EMEA real estate structured finance team in London, responsible for leading a number of large, high-profile transactions including the £1.25bn sustainability-linked refinancing of City office tower 22 Bishopsgate, EC2.
Prior to Bank of America, Pristovsek worked with the EMEA commercial real estate team at Deutsche Bank, also based in London.
Mike DeGier, senior vice president for real estate finance and capital markets at Oxford Properties, said: “Tina is a highly experienced professional who has been involved in a number of major transactions over the course of her career. She brings highly valuable insights to our team and will greatly bolster the strength of our European debt team, as well as key relationships that are critical drivers of success.”
Pristovsek said: “The past year has seen global interest rates rise substantially, which presents opportunity for forward-thinking companies such as Oxford to build competitive advantage via innovative financing strategies. Oxford has already established an impressive track record in real estate finance globally, and I look forward to working with the team to build that further.”
