It is great to welcome him to our senior team as we continue to grow our real estate platform.'

'I'm thrilled to join Cerberus at this exciting time for the firm,' Berlin said. 'Cerberus' real estate franchise is world-class with a long and proven history of investing across market cycles. I look forward to building a global fundraising platform that leverages its success and also helps Cerberus expand its product offering to meet the evolving needs of institutional investors around the world.'
