Greystone, a leading national commercial real estate finance company, announced that Jeffrey Baevsky, Executive Managing Director of Corporate Finance at the firm, has assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately, in addition to his existing duties. Mr. Baevsky assumes the CFO role after a decade-long tenure leading strategy for Greystone’s corporate finance activities, including serving as Co-Portfolio Manager of Greystone’s Senior Debt Fund.
Under Mr. Baevsky’s direction, Greystone issued multiple Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) including the largest CLO comprised of senior housing assets. Most recently, Mr. Baevsky helped lead Greystone’s inaugural bond offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. During his time at the firm, he has also served as the Chair of the Greystone Senior Debt Fund investment committee.
Prior to joining Greystone in 2014, Mr. Baevsky served as Head of Capital Markets at Gramercy Capital Corp. Over his career, he has advised on and completed mortgage-based credit facilities, mezzanine finance, off-balance sheet acquisition and asset development programs, and both public and private debt and equity capital placements.
“Jeff’s contributions to Greystone have propelled the firm forward, enabled us to hedge for stability during down times, and created opportunities to form new global capital relationships,” said Mr. Steve Rosenberg, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Greystone. “I have enjoyed working alongside Jeff to solve challenges and keep Greystone nimble and poised for future growth. I know he’ll thrive in his new role.”
