Newmark announces that the firm has hired Nina Russo, an experienced debt originator, to join its growing Debt & Structured Finance practice. Russo, who joins as a Managing Director, will work between the Atlanta and New York offices, reporting to Co-Heads of Global Debt & Structured Finance Jordan Roeschlaub and Jonathan Firestone.
Russo will focus on originating and structuring debt and equity opportunities across all property types nationally, leveraging Newmark’s extensive capital relationships and institutional execution capabilities. She will play a key role in expanding Newmark’s capital markets footprint, particularly across the Southeast, while supporting the team’s broader national platform.
“We are excited to add Nina to the team, bolstering our presence in the Southeast and complementing our best-in-class approach to solving the capital markets needs of our clients,” said Nick Scribani, a Vice Chairman of Debt & Structured Finance. “Nina is a talented deal maker with a 24/7 energy that aligns with how our Newmark operates.”
Prior to joining Newmark, Russo worked in Debt & Equity Capital Markets at Meridian Capital Group, structuring over $2 billion in financing across all property types. She began her career at KeyBank, holding roles across real estate capital markets and corporate finance.
-“Joining Newmark was a strategic move,” said Russo. “The platform is the most formidable in the business – between the depth of capital relationships, the precision of execution, and the horsepower behind the team, we have the tools to deliver outcomes others can’t. I’m excited to bring that to clients across the country.”
