CrowdProperty has announced the appointment of Andreas Yianni as head of business development for London & the South.

Yianni (pictured) previously held roles at Avamore Capital and Century Capital. Prior to this, he worked as a specialist finance broker for two years and has built strong relationships with contacts across the property and lending market.

With 10 years’ experience as a private banker, across both Barclays and Lloyds Bank, he is experienced at managing client portfolios including considerations around investment and debt solutions.

Damon Walford, CCO at CrowdProperty, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Andreas to the team. His commercial acumen and numerous industry contacts will support our mission to deliver the best development lending experience to our customers, providing a local contact for intermediaries and developers in the South as well as enhancing the knowledge and expertise of the team as a whole.

“We’re keen to help even more developers build their vision during the remainder of 2022 and beyond, especially in these uncertain times, and intend to invest further in our team of regional relationship managers in order to achieve this.”

Yianni added: “I’m excited to join the CrowdProperty team, having heard about the company’s performance to date and the team’s ambition to quickly become the go-to brand for property development. The team has built an industry-leading platform, attracting thousands of property developers and barely scratching the surface of what is possible with the technology platform and institutional funding we’ve secured.

Yianni I look forward to sharing our expertise and growth plans with my network to support more property developers in achieving their goals.”
