Capital Funding Group (CFG) has promoted Director Erik Howard to executive managing director of business and marketing in an effort to amplify their focus on the seniors housing and multifamily housing sectors. Throughout Mr. Howard’s 17-year tenure at CFG, he has been involved in the financing of over $7 billion in healthcare and multifamily assets.
CFG has assembled a new team around these sectors in tandem with Mr. Howard’s promotion announcement, with industry-vet Ken Assiran set to lead the new seniors housing lending platform. Mr. Assiran has a 30-year background in financings and debt-structuring, and will continue to run CFG-affiliate Capital Health Group in addition to these new responsibilities. Elizabeth Buckalew, a former member of the corporate banking team for JP Morgan, has been hired to spearhead CFG’s multifamily efforts.
Craig Casagrande and Tim Eberhardt have also been promoted to be co-heads of CFG’s long-term care business development group after collectively being responsible for over $3 billion in funding over the last five years.
