MaxCap adds three staffers

Real estate investment manager MaxCap Group  continues to increase its headcount by adding three new staffers to its team.

He will focus on relationship management and real estate transactions.

Periera spent the last 14 years at NAB, specialising in commercial real estate, construction and healthcare.

Before his banking career, he spent four years at KPMG in audit and advisory.

The recruit will report to the Victoria state investment director, Johnny Woodhouse.

For his part, Scott Robertson has been appointed associate director of construction risk.

Based in Sydney, he will deliver specialised construction advisory, approval, and management services throughout the entire life cycle of real estate loans.

He will report to MaxCap's head of construction risk, Royston Toh.

Commenting on the appointments, MaxCap executive chairman Wayne Lasky said: "We are thrilled to have Haley, Josh and Scott join the MaxCap team. Their calibre and experience will strengthen our wealth management, investment and risk teams respectively."
