Retirement homes provider Birchgrove has appointed a new chief operations officer (COO) and chief financial officer (CFO).
Marcus Hodge (pictured), who was UK operations director for co-living brand The Collective, joins as COO, and Raphaël Koifman, who has worked for several institutional lending platforms and banks, including Cheyne Capital, Deutsche Pfandbriefbank, Santander and Barclays Capital, joins Birchgrove as CFO.
Honor Barratt, chief executive of Birchgrove, said: “At Birchgrove, we have intimate and extensive knowledge of our later living customer and what they need from us to build somewhere they can call home. What we were looking for in Marcus and Raphaël was all the knowledge we don’t have, namely how to roll out a portfolio at scale and speed, and how to drive the best possible yield on exit. With these two on board, every day we are honing our operations and bringing our model closer to BTR yields.”
