“Greg’s deep understanding of private capital solutions and long history of transaction and business risk analysis will be invaluable to our team, as well as, benefitting our partners and investors. Having worked with him in the past at several institutions, we know that Greg’s understanding of complex credit structures will further differentiate D Capital’s capabilities going forward,” Patrick Downes, managing member at D Capital, said.
