RMR Names SVP to Lead International Capital Formation

The RMR Group said that Peter Welch has been appointed SVP and head of international. In this newly created role, Welch will be responsible for expanding RMR’s international brand and relationships with global institutional capital partners. He will focus exclusively on RMR and its managed clients, working to support RMR’s capital formation initiatives and long-term strategic objectives.

Welch’s role will complement the previously announced hiring of Mary Smendzuik as an SVP and head of capital formation. Smendzuik has been focused primarily on RMR’s North American institutional capital partners.

Before joining RMR, Welch was most recently a senior advisor at Bain Capital Credit, covering investment and capital formation. He previously held senior leadership roles at Wells Fargo Securities, including as the Singapore CEO and head of the Global Institutional Client Group for Asia Pacific, where he managed relationships with sovereign wealth funds, pension plans and family offices.
