Newbond Holdings, a real estate and hospitality-focused investment platform, has expanded its team by appointing Emma Gad as its senior director of asset management.
Having managed more than $1 billion in commercial real estate investments over the course of her career, Gad brings a wealth of asset management expertise to her new role, where she will be overseeing the execution of the firm’s growing portfolio of full-service hotels.
Gad previously served as a director of asset management at Excel Group, a multi-disciplined hotel private equity firm, where she oversaw a portfolio of 15 premium-branded hotels. Prior to Excel Group, she spent multiple years at the publicly traded Pebblebrook Hotel Trust.
Gad’s addition comes at a pivotal point for the firm as it continues to grow its hospitality portfolio. Earlier this month, Newbond acquired the Aloft Tampa Downtown Hotel, marking the firm’s third hotel investment on the Downtown Tampa riverfront in the last 24 months.
