Ascent Developer Solutions (AscentDS), a relationship-based lender providing customized financing solutions to top-tier real estate developers, announced that Jason Savage has joined the firm as senior vice president, treasury and capital markets. The announcement continues an effort to add key executive new hires to the firm’s rapidly expanding management team. AscentDS launched this summer, powered by a substantial equity capital commitment from Elliott Investment Management.
“It is with great pleasure that we welcome Jason Savage, an experienced veteran in the realm of capital markets, to further enhance our leadership team, and add to our rapidly expanding and evolving client relationships and capabilities. Jason is also part of an effort to establish a presence in New York and on the east coast,” said Robert Wasmund, founder and CEO of AscentDS.
Savage joins AscentDS with more than two decades of experience and a proven track record of success leading complex transactions — including acquisitions, sales, financings, and more — while managing key strategic relationships as an executive with firms such as Credit Suisse, Hudson Americas and most recently, Change Lending. He holds an MBA in finance from New York University’s Stern School of Business, and a BBA in Finance from The University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business.
