Timbercreek Asset Management, recently named one of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies in the 28th annual PROFIT 500 list, has appointed two new senior hires.
Brad Trotter joins as managing director, U.S. & European debt, and Cam Goodnough joins as managing director of corporate development. Both men will help launch strategies to build and grow the firm both domestically and globally. Trotter will be a key member of the senior leadership team in Timbercreek’s New York office. He will focus on strategic growth opportunities outside of Canada and help the firm determine and drive expansion of its existing debt platform. With 25 years of experience across North America, Europe and Asia as a Business Leader and CFO with GE Capital, he has led more than $25 billion of real estate debt and equity transactions, managed portfolios of up to $22 billion in size and directed large teams across multiple geographies.
Goodnough will work out of the firm’s Toronto-based corporate head office and will focus on evaluating strategic initiatives and support product development around new verticals, geographies and initiatives. He will also assume the role of vice-president of finance and corporate development for Timbercreek Financial. His experience in capital markets and investment banking spans 17 years, with firms such as CIBC Wood Gundy, Merrill Lynch Canada, RBC Capital Markets. He has previously worked as managing director with the Financial Institutions Group at TD Securities.
“Whether looking at institutional, ultra high-net-worth, or broader based retail audiences, we have seen continued growth in capital allocations to the alternative asset classes this past year,” said Blair Tamblyn, senior managing director and chief executive officer at Timbercreek Asset Management. “We believe these key additions will better position us to continue to identify compelling, active investment opportunities for our clients in multiple jurisdictions.”
Timbercreek now manages more than $5.5 billion in assets across its various lines of business. The firm recently opened its newly built corporate headquarters in Toronto and expanded its global reach with the opening of a regional office in Hong Kong.
