Christina Names New Head of Capital Markets

Los Angeles

Beverly Hills-based real estate sponsor and manager Christina Development Corp. has hired Richard Moran as managing director and head of capital markets. The appointment is part of the firm’s strategic growth plans. Moran is an industry leader in wealth management, and in this role, he will work to forge partnerships with registered investment advisors.

“With Rich’s extensive experience leading large nationwide organizations involved in alternative investments, along with his expertise as a founding member of the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association, it was clear that he would be an ideal fit for Christina in terms of the strategic direction the firm has been pursuing since the SEC regulations have evolved to allow broader investor participation in private real estate investments,” Lawrence N. Taylor, founder of Christina, tells GlobeSt.com. “Additionally, he’s a tested leader who knows how to build the teams and infrastructure necessary to succeed in raising awareness of the availability of quality direct investments in some of the best real estate in the world, a crucial component of our strategic planning.”
