Cushman & Wakefield has bolstered its EMEA debt advisory team with two new hires.
David Poremba, who has more than 20 years’ experience in European real estate and banking, joins the team as an international partner. Poremba was a member of the team that established Eastdil Secured in Europe, leveraging his deep European experience at pbb Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG across markets, capital styles and cycles.
Cushman & Wakefield has also hired Winnie Sun (pictured) as an associate director from Deutsche Bank. Sun most recently served as vice president in Deutsche Bank’s commercial real estate team in London.
Both new joiners have an EMEA-wide mandate, with Sun initially based in London and Poremba in Frankfurt.
David Gingell, co-head of EMEA debt advisory at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Adding two more high performers to the team reflects the trajectory we are on and our increasing emergence as the advisor of choice for financings in Europe. David’s experience is rooted in banking and capital markets and he brings a holistic lens to transactions and refinancings from every perspective.
“His long term relationships with investors, developers and lenders across Germany, and in Continental Europe, London and the United States, are a huge asset. Winnie, simply, is a star and one to watch – she brings strong investment banking credentials and capital market access to investor requirements. We are delighted she has chosen to take her next step with us and look forward to introducing her to our clients.”
Poremba added: “I am excited to join a team with strong momentum which is fully integrated into the wider Cushman & Wakefield platform, giving our clients local market knowledge combined with global capital markets connectivity. The next few years will be excellent vintages for debt and equity deployments and credible underwriting remains key for certainty of execution.”
Sun added: “Having interacted with the Cushman & Wakefield team as a lender, I was impressed with the sophistication, size and profile of their projects. I’m therefore more than excited to hit the ground running and help accelerate the team’s progress, especially as 2026 will bring significant requirements for expert debt advice, unlocking transactions and refinancings that propel the market forward.”
