Starwood Real Estate Income Trust Inc. (SREIT), a non-listed REIT managed by Starwood Capital Group, has hired Nora Creedon as its new CEO, effective July 28. She will succeed Sean Harris who is stepping down to pursue other opportunities.

Creedon joins SREIT after 18 years at Goldman Sachs, where she most recently served as CEO and President of GS REIT, a non-traded equity REIT, and as a managing director in the Private Real Estate Group within the firm’s Asset & Wealth Management division. Creedon was also a member of the firm’s Global Real Estate Investment Committee and oversaw the real estate investments of the Exchange Fund series. Earlier, she was the global head of REITs and infrastructure strategies within fundamental equity investing at Goldman Sachs and spent several years at Fidelity Investments and Fortress Investment Group.

“On behalf of the team, I am thrilled to welcome Nora to SREIT,” said Barry Sternlicht, CEO of Starwood Capital and chairman of SREIT. “Nora brings exceptional leadership and a proven track record in real estate investing, positioning her to build on SREIT’s strong foundation and drive continued growth. Since its launch more than six years ago, SREIT has been focused on a simple strategy: investing in high-quality, well-located real estate in a vehicle designed to provide investors with capital appreciation potential driven by attractive, stable, tax-efficient income and low volatility and correlation to public markets. With Nora’s leadership and the dedication of our talented team, I’m confident that SREIT will continue to execute on its objectives and deliver strong results for our stockholders.”
