Former Goldman Sachs Equity Sales Executive to Head Ratel Investor Relations
Tiburon, Calif. – April 11, 2008 – Ratel Investments, a real estate investment firm, today announced it has hired Ms. Rajvi Berry as VP of Investor Relations. Ms. Berry will be responsible for supporting Ratel’s high net worth investor base and all new investor outreach activities. Prior to joining Ratel, Ms. Berry oversaw a private portfolio of real estate investments, including multi-family and office assets. Previously, she was Executive Director, Institutional Equity Sales for Goldman Sachs based in Hong Kong. Ms. Berry began her career at KPMG Peat Marwick where she supervised multiple engagements and provided advice to corporate and partnership clients. She holds a BS in Business Administration and a MS in Taxation from the University of Southern California, a MBA in Financing and Marketing from the University of Chicago and is qualified as a Certified Public Accountant.
“We are thrilled to have Rajvi join our firm,” said Ron Sann, founder and principal of Ratel Investments. “Ms. Berry brings to Ratel extensive finance and accounting experience as well as proven client relations skills. We are fortunate that our investor group has grown tenfold over the last five years and we have now made 24 large commercial real estate investments. Bringing aboard Rajvi will allow us to continue to provide the frequent, highly personalized investor services our firm is known for, as well as create a more streamlined process for introducing new investors to our firm. A final added benefit is that Rajvi also deepens Ratel’s collective real estate expertise and broadens our acquisition and asset management capabilities, giving us the bandwidth we need to support our future growth.”
