In this role, Yajnik will oversee fund strategy and deployment, lead investment evaluation and allocation, and direct fund governance and investor communications. He will also build and manage the firm’s diligence team and partner with portfolio companies and real estate projects to drive operational excellence and value creation across Momentous Sports’ expanding investment portfolio.

Yajnik brings more than two decades of experience in institutional real estate, private equity, and capital markets, having executed and closed more than $2 billion in acquisitions and developments spanning hospitality, mixed-use, multifamily, office, and retail sectors.

Prior to that, he was Managing Director at DeBartolo Development, where he directed $400 million in acquisitions across hospitality, multifamily, and retail. His earlier roles with Swerdlow Group, NewStar Financial, and GE Capital further deepened his experience in structured finance, capital markets, and cross-border deal execution.
