Cohort Capital has hired Alex Alexandrou as head of sales – residential lending, as the bridging finance lender looks to boost its loan book.  

It says Alexandrou (pictured) will lead sales of the firm’s ResiOne product, for transactions between £1m to £10m-plus, for refinancing, consolidating debt and funding acquisitions. 

It adds he will also focus “on expanding sales infrastructure, deepening intermediary relationships, and generating new deal flow across its products, including ResiPrime and commercial lending”. 

Alexandrou has more than 13 years of property finance and financial services experience.  

He spent the past nine years at Octopus Real Estate, leaving as head of residential sales.

In that role, Alexandrou built and managed a team of up to eight business development managers, deploying around 400 loans per year across bridging, buy-to-let and refurbishment finance, with a particular focus on the residential, houses in multiple occupation and semi-commercial markets.   

Cohort Capital founder Matthew Thame says: “Alex’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for Cohort as we build on our success in prime, high-end and commercial lending and expand further into the smaller residential loan pool.  

“His proven track record at Octopus Real Estate, where he successfully scaled operations across multiple finance sectors, makes him ideally positioned to expand on the strength of Cohort’s existing loan book.” 

Alexandrou adds: “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.”
