Leading Australian-based global technology company Lakeba Group announced the appointment of Oliver Trajcevski as Chief Investment Officer and Executive Director.
Trajcevski was MD at Moelis Australia Asset Management, responsible for establishing and growth of its private credit and opportunities fund for SME and alternative investments.
Having previously been a Co-Founder of Dinimus Capital, Trajcevski was integral in Fortress Investment Groups’ Special Opportunities business as its first Australian based employee.
Before this, he was a key member of GE Commercial’s opening team as its Head of Credit Due Diligence and has been involved in more than $2.8bn worth of private credit investments.
Lakeba to harness Oliver Trajcevski’s experience
Trajcevski will assist Lakeba’s subsidiaries by establishing and managing capital requirements. His immediate focus will be to work with leadership teams within Lakeba’s Proptech vertical.
Trajcevski is tasked with putting in place asset acquisition facilities for Bricklet stock to facilitate opening further investment opportunities on the platform to drive sales with innovative financing arrangements for investors to purchase fractionalized properties.
He will also join Lakeba’s board of directors, leveraging his extensive debt capital markets and commercial investment experience to assist across Lakeba’s corporate ventures.
The move comes as Lakeba forges ahead with its ambitions to move beyond pure tech to unlock the potential of capital finance ventures in Australia and beyond.
Lakeba experiencing exponential growth
Lakeba has created, incubated and grown an impressive portfolio of over 15 enterprise technology businesses, powered by over 150 team members from its Sydney headquarters.
The Financial Times recognised Lakeba as an APAC High Growth Company in 2020 and 2021.
Lakeba Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Giuseppe Porcelli said that the appointment was a great strategic move for the business as it moved towards a diversified revenue base.
“Oliver is one of the best and respected leaders in his field, creating and capitalising billions of dollars in value across some of the world’s most respected financial services companies.”
“Attracting him and his calibre is a demonstration of the success of Lakeba’s ambitious vision, greatly improving our exposure to high profile credit opportunities,” Porcelli said.
“The vision presented by Giuseppe and the Lakeba team made this an exciting move. Accelerating market adoption of fractionalised property investing is the right opportunity.”
“The other factor was the vison and drive of this innovative and globally ambitious organisation, which made joining the Lakeba team as the natural choice,” Trajcevski added.
