Starwood Capital explained that both hires are a strategic priority for the firm and highlight the company’s dedication to creating value for its investors through hands-on asset management. As Starwood's continues to grow its asset base, the firm is committed to adding senior-level talent to its world-class asset management organization, the company explained in a press release.

"Andrea and Alex are seasoned executives that bring unique skill sets to our Asset Management Group," said Mark Deason, Starwood Capital Group's head of U.S. asset management.

"One of the benefits of reaching the scale that Starwood has achieved is our ability to attract the most sought-after talent in the industry to help us oversee that portfolio. I'm really excited to get Andrea and Alex on board to supplement the already exceptional team we have in place and challenge us to be even better," said Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group.
