Starwood Capital Group, a global private investment firm with a primary focus on real estate, announced that Jonathan Pollack will join the firm as president in 2025.
Pollack joins the Miami-based Starwood Capital from Blackstone, where he served as global head of the firm’s real estate credit business since 2016. Pollack was also a member of Blackstone’s real estate executive committee, investment committee and operating committee. Prior to joining Blackstone in 2015, Pollack was the global head of commercial real estate at Deutsche Bank.
Jeffrey G. Dishner, president and chief operating officer of Starwood Capital, will remain in his role as president until Pollack joins the firm, at which time he will become vice chairman and head of strategy and business development.
“After an extensive search, I am extremely pleased to welcome an executive of Jonathan’s caliber as President of Starwood Capital,” said Barry Sternlicht, chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital. “I have known Jonathan for more than a decade, and he is universally respected across our industry with unparalleled relationships and a track record of success, which will help lead a firm of our scale and ambition.”
