Groundfloor, a market investment platform with more than $1.8 billion in investment volume, has announced the appointment of J. Robert Varghese as its new head of investments. In this role, Varghese will oversee and manage Groundfloor’s investment portfolio, lead investor education initiatives and develop strategic partnerships to further enhance Groundfloor’s products and the investor experience.
Varghese brings more than 30 years of experience as an investment strategist, portfolio manager and adviser across global markets, private equity, real estate and alternative investments. Most recently, he was managing partner at Tier One Capital Advisory, where he provided portfolio and fund management expertise to family offices, endowments, foundations and high-net-worth investors.
“Groundfloor was founded on the idea of giving individual investors access to opportunities historically reserved for institutions,” said Brian Dally, co-founder and CEO of Groundfloor.
