reystone, a leading national commercial real estate finance company, has appointed Chip Hudson and Greg Lyss as co-Chief Operating Officers. Both executives bring extensive experience to their new roles: Hudson previously led Greystone's Agency lending platform as CEO, while Lyss served as Chief Investment Officer.

    As COOs, they will oversee the firm's operating businesses, including its industry-leading lending, servicing, and asset management platforms, as well as its innovative technology operation. Charlie Baxter, a 20-year veteran of the company, has taken on the role of CEO for Greystone's Agency lending platform, which is critical to the firm's collaboration with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

    Greystone currently ranks #3 in overall multifamily lending for Fannie Mae and #6 for Freddie Mac by loan volume. The company also maintains top 5 rankings for affordable housing, seniors housing, and small loan volume with both GSEs. Founder and CEO Steve Rosenberg said the appointment of Hudson and Lyss will position Greystone for long-term success as it enters its next phase of growth.

    Rosenberg emphasized that despite market changes in CRE over the last few years, Greystone remains committed to making a positive impact on others through its efforts. The company aims to honor the legacy of its founding and former COO, Curt Pollock.
