Real estate investment firm Cain International has appointed former Six Senses chief executive Neil Jacobs as a consultant to support the growth of its luxury investment platform.

 

Jacobs will provide strategic advice across the group’s hotels and luxury assets, which are located in global markets such as Miami, New York, London, Beverley Hills and Courchevel 1850.

The luxury real estate sector continues to demonstrate resilient fundamentals and consistent demand, and we believe that Cain’s development expertise, combined with operational insights, sets us apart. 

 

“Neil’s experience in developing and launching new hotels and building and managing hospitality businesses will strengthen that advantage as we grow our luxury investment platform.”
