Working alongside Reiner Beckers, director of business development for Continental Europe, and reporting to Will Amies, head of business development and recently-appointed deputy CEO, she will be responsible for developing and distributing new investment products as well as overseeing distribution and marketing activities.

Prior to joining Cording, Wyld was a UK real estate product strategist at BlackRock, where she was responsible for investor relations, business development and marketing. She also spent a number of years as a relationship manager, both at BlackRock and Fidelity International, where her primary responsibility was managing and evolving relationships with institutional investors.

Last week Cording announced the appointment of Rodney Bysh as new CEO.

Bysh, who will also be responsible for the German and Dutch offices, will continue to expand Cording’s investment management platform, focusing on delivering for segregated accounts and club deals.   

He joined Cording in 2013, when Frankfurt-based Feldberg Capital, where he was CEO, merged its real estate investment management activities and team with Cording.

Before Feldberg Capital, he was a managing director at Rothschild, responsible for real estate investment banking in Germany from 2006 to 2008. He continues to be a senior adviser to Rothschild. Prior to Rothschild he spent seven years at Henderson Global Investors.

Established in 2008, Cording provides fully-integrated services, covering investment management, asset management and property management. The firm currently has €2.7 bn under management in the UK, Germany, Scandinavia and Benelux.
