ICG, the global alternative asset manager, today announced two new senior hires to support the expansion of its real estate platform into North America. Tim Fuzesi joins as a Managing Director and Head of North America Real Estate, while Nick Donatiello joins as a Principal. The team will report into Krysto Nikolic, ICG’s Global Head of Real Estate, with a mandate to expand ICG Real Estate’s business in North America, primarily focused on investments in real asset platforms and operating companies. Tim and Nick will both be based in ICG’s New York office.
Prior to joining ICG, Tim was a Managing Director at CrossHarbor Capital, where he scaled the New York team into a multidisciplinary office, and before this, worked at Safanad. His role as Managing Director responsible for Real Estate and Digital Infrastructure spanned all aspects of the business, including fundraising, management, portfolio company board representation, and origination and asset management. With prior tenures at Building and Land Technology, Starwood Capital Group, Apollo Global Management and Goldman Sachs, Tim brings with him over 20 years of private equity, real estate and investment banking experience.
Nick also joins from CrossHarbor Capital, where he worked as a Vice President, following a stint alongside Tim at Safanad, latterly as a Vice President. At CrossHarbor Capital, he led the New York office’s potential investment screening and diligence across all major and niche asset classes, while at Safanad he was integral to all facets of new transactions from screening through to execution, as well as asset management. Prior to this, Nick worked at CIM Group after beginning his career in Citi’s Real Estate & Lodging Group. Tim and Nick previously worked together for six years.
Krysto Nikolic, Global Head of ICG Real Estate, said:
We are delighted to welcome Tim and Nick to ICG, as we strengthen our on-the-ground presence in North America. They are an established team with a strong track record and first-hand experience scaling and developing businesses in the region. With their leadership we are excellently positioned to grow in North America during this on-going period of market dislocation.
Tim Fuzesi, Managing Director and Head of North America Real Estate at ICG, added:
ICG Real Estate is a leading investor in global real estate and we are excited to be part of this further expansion. I look forward to working with new colleagues as we extend the platform’s successful strategy with offerings tailored to the US market.
Nick Donatiello, Principal at ICG, said:
ICG Real Estate has a proven track record, with through-cycle expertise and a distinctive and flexible investment strategy. I am excited to be joining the firm and look forward to working closely with Krysto and Tim to develop its North American real estate business.
