Bridging lender Funding 365 has added Paul Weitzkorn to its team as sales director.

He joins from Goldman Sachs, where he was head of European mortgage sales, managing the team responsible for residential and commercial secured products.

Weitzkorn will also be investing in the company alongside the existing directors.

Mike Strange, Funding 365 director,  said: “I and the other directors at Funding 365 have known Paul for a long time. I worked with him at Goldman Sachs and Barclays Capital, Jeff Stolz worked with him at Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, and Mike Jinn worked with him at Deutsche Bank.

“He’s an incredible professional as well as a great guy and we’re delighted to have persuaded him to join us. Watch this space.”

Weitzkorn added: “I watched with interest the success that Mike, Jeff and Mike have created in building up Funding 365. Bridging is a dynamic space to be in right now and I’m excited to be joining the team and applying my experience to the industry.

“I very much look forward to meeting with brokers and packagers – old and new – over the coming months.”
