Listed real estate fintech Linus Digital Finance has appointed the co-managing Director of its UK business Lukas Endl as COO.
Endl will be expected to drive the growth of the investment platform in the UK in his dual role as managing director Linus UK and will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the entire investment platform in his new role as COO.
Endl will work at both of the company's locations in Berlin and London.
A real estate economist by training, Endl holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Before starting at Linus in February 2020, Endl worked for the management and strategy consultancy McKinsey & Company for around five years.
David Neuhoff, founder and CEO of Linus Digital Finance, said: 'In building our UK business and, most importantly, managing the regulatory approval processes required, Lukas has proven that he is exactly the right person to manage our operational investment platform business going forward.
'I am particularly pleased to appoint an existing employee as COO. He impresses with operational excellence, is very familiar with our business and will significantly drive the growth and expansion of our investment platform.'
The appointment of Endl is retroactive to 1 June.
