ABOUT CHINMAY WAST
I sit at the intersection of commercial real estate underwriting and platform/process design building repeatable, compliant systems that allow lending teams to scale without sacrificing credit discipline.At Peoples Group, I’ve become a go-to resource for CMHC MLI Select and construction underwriting, working closely with senior leadership to translate regulatory and policy requirements into clear, executable underwriting processes. My role extends beyond individual deals into strengthening how underwriting is performed across the platform.Key contributions include:Designing standardized underwriting workflows and reporting frameworks that reduce rework and improve consistency across multifamily and construction lendingBuilding portfolio and pipeline level reporting used by senior leadership to monitor deal flow, concentration risk, and borrower exposureStrengthening borrower financial analysis particularly corporate net worth and balance sheet review.Mapping future state underwriting workflows as part of our transition to nCino by focusing on standardization, scalability, and long-term platform integrity.Before moving into underwriting, I helped build a national syndicated loan platform from the ground up. While pricing was handled at the executive level, I owned the operational and execution side coordinating underwriting, managing investor communication, and overseeing draw administration. Over 10 months, we scaled the platform from 19 to 48 active deals by building an operating model that was practical, repeatable, and resilient as volume increased.I’m most effective in environments where underwriting rigor, regulatory complexity, and operational scale intersect and where someone needs to turn ambiguity into systems that stand up to scrutiny from investors, auditors, regulators, and senior leadership.
