Payton Capital recruits new state manager

Non-bank lender and commercial real estate private debt fund manager Payton Capital has appointed former NAB executive Peter Loukas (pictured above) as its new state manager for Victoria.

With more than 25 years of experience in banking and finance, Loukas brings extensive expertise in SME and corporate banking, particularly in commercial real estate. He previously held senior roles at NAB, including commercial real estate executive and associate director of corporate property. He also served in leadership positions at Bendigo Bank.

In his new role, Loukas will lead the Victorian borrower services team, focusing on expanding lending opportunities within the property sector. His experience in property development financing and his ability to cultivate strong client relationships are expected to play a key role in his new position at Payton Capital.

His appointment comes as the lender aims to accelerate growth following its acquisition by HMC Capital, an alternative asset manager.
