Cushman & Wakefield appointed executive vice chair Rob Rubano as head of Equity, Debt & Structured Finance (EDSF) for the Americas. He is based in Los Angeles and reports to Dan Broderick, Cushman & Wakefield’s president, Americas Advisory and Matt Chatham, Cushman & Wakefield’s regional president for the West Region.
Rubano will work together with the firm’s executive leadership to drive consistency and quality in client delivery and engagement, further technology enhancements to promote data driven insights and transparency, and contribute to the growth, scalability, and operational effectiveness of its EDSF platform.
“Rob is a demonstrated leader in the capital markets space and has extensive experience working in various parts of the capital stack, including first mortgages, B-notes, mezzanine financings and preferred equity,” said Broderick. “His market-leading experience, expertise and high production make him the ideal executive to fill this role.”
During his nearly 20-year career, Rubano has closed more than $80 billion in transaction volume, and in 2022 alone he completed over 60 financings across the U.S. with a loan volume of more than $8.5 billion.
