Bridging and development lender Fiduciam has announced the appointment of Borja de Ramon (pictured) as its new general counsel, further bolstering the company’s leadership team.

De Ramon joins from Spanish start-up ThePower, a business school where he established a legal department, led financing rounds, and took responsibility for all legal aspects of the company. Previously, he worked for Linklaters Spain, where he spent six years in the mergers and acquisitions department.

A holder of dual degree in law and business administration, he also recently received an executive Master of Business Administration degree.

“We are thrilled to welcome Borja to our team as his extensive legal background and entrepreneurial experience align seamlessly with Fiduciam’s vision for growth and innovation,” commented Johan Groothaert, chief executive at Fiduciam. “We believe that Borja will play a crucial role in strengthening our position in the direct lending market in Europe.

“Borja joining our team is very timely, considering the demand for direct lending is higher than ever before in Europe, and Fiduciam is extremely well positioned to grab a large part of this market growth thanks to its advanced IT platform and stellar loan book track record.”

Commenting on his appointment, de Ramon said he was “very excited to join Fiduciam.”

“I am impressed by the young talent of the team and their ambitious plan to become a leading platform in direct lending in Europe, providing excellent service to all their stakeholders,” he stated.
