Altavair appointed Matt Hoesley as chief commercial officer. In this newly created role, Hoesley will assume responsibility for marketing, trading and portfolio management, in addition to his current responsibilities leading financing and investment. Hoesley will continue reporting directly to Altavair’s CEO, Steve Rimmer.
“We are delighted to promote Matt to CCO and I look forward to working with him in this new more strategic capacity,” Rimmer said. “This role will have an ever-increasing influence on shaping and driving Altavair’s business direction, better serving our customers and delivering on the company’s growth plans.”
“I greatly appreciate this opportunity and thank Steve and the rest of the Altavair team for their support as I move into this new position,” Hoesley said. “I look forward to growing the business and building on the strength of our existing customer relationships.”
Hoesley joined Altavair in 2005 as a pricing associate and has since held positions as marketing director for EMEA, head of Finance and Portfolio Management, and, most recently, head of Originations.
