About Alexander Topchy

I am a practical, adaptable and detail oriented strategic leader in investing. I work with lenders and investors and diverse teams to bring real estate or corporate projects to completion. As a creative, outside-the-box thinker, I have delivered on major development projects and complex corporate structures, such as a private-to-public transition of a $500M portfolio for IPO readiness. I am a go-to person who can develop the building (BS-engineering), evaluate merger or acquisition targets and put together the funding (MBA-finance and CFA). I deliver transactions that fuel growth under deadline and across the entire capital stack.Technical/Software: Yardi accounting systems | Argus valuation software | Salesforce | Costar | Excel M&A | IPO Readiness | Capital Structure | Governance | Real Estate Development
