Dunas Capital Group has announced the creation of Dunas Capital Debt, a new unit specializing in debt financing and management. The division will be led by José María Sagardoy, a professional with over thirty years of experience in financing and risk management.
Dunas Capital Debt was established with the aim of providing specialized advisory and debt management services both to third parties and to the group’s Real Estate unit, as well as to alternative investment funds managed by Dunas Capital AM. This initiative is part of the firm’s growth and diversification strategy.
José María Sagardoy holds a degree in Economics and Business Studies from Universidad Pontificia de Comillas (ICADE E2). Throughout his professional career, he has developed extensive experience in wholesale banking, focusing on areas such as capital markets — debt, syndicated loans, and structured finance — holding senior positions at leading institutions including Deutsche Bank, BBVA, and Banco Popular.
In recent years, he has served as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of OHLA, consolidating his expertise in the infrastructure and real estate sectors. He has also been a member of the board of directors of top publicly listed companies in these sectors, such as Inmobiliaria Colonial, Société Foncière Lyonnaise, FCC, and NH Hoteles, among others.
"The creation of Dunas Capital Debt is a natural step in our growth and diversification strategy. José María’s appointment strengthens our capabilities and expands our value proposition, laying the foundations for the development of our private debt vertical with a prudent, specialized, and results-oriented approach," said David Angulo, Chairman of Dunas Capital Group.
"I am excited to take on the challenge of leading Dunas Capital Debt with the goal of providing advisory and debt management services with the highest rigor in risk analysis. Our experience in capital markets, syndicated loans, and structured finance, combined with the group’s capabilities, will enable us to support alternative investment funds and the Real Estate platform to capture opportunities with discipline and value creation," stated José María Sagardoy, CEO of Dunas Capital Debt.
