ACORE Capital Names Cynthia Holahan Chief Marketing Officer as Firm Eyes Next Growth Chapter
NEW YORK — June 8, 2026 — ACORE Capital, a U.S. commercial real estate debt investment manager with approximately $18 billion in assets under management, has appointed Cynthia Holahan as Chief Marketing Officer, the firm announced. The role is newly created and will have Holahan overseeing global marketing strategy, brand positioning, investor communications, and business development marketing.
Holahan will be based in New York and report to Chief Operating Officer Boyd Fellows.
A New Role at a Pivotal Moment for ACORE Capital
The appointment comes as ACORE Capital navigates a period of strategic transition. The firm recently became majority-owned by Delphi Financial Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokio Marine Holdings, a development the company cited as part of the backdrop for Holahan's hire.
"Cynthia's appointment marks another step in our commitment to building a world-class leadership team that will drive growth as we enter an exciting next chapter for the firm," said Warren de Haan, Chief Executive Officer of ACORE Capital. "She has spent her career building sophisticated, high-impact marketing functions at premier asset managers, and her perspective and relationships will help amplify our brand and deepen our investor relationships globally."
Holahan Brings More Than Two Decades of Asset Management Marketing Experience
Holahan joins ACORE Capital with more than 20 years of marketing and communications experience across major asset management firms. Most recently, she served as Head of Marketing for North America at Ninety One, the global $226 billion asset manager, where she led brand positioning, corporate communications, public relations, and channel marketing across the U.S. and Canada.
Prior to Ninety One, Holahan held a senior marketing role at OppenheimerFunds, where she led Institutional, Private Wealth, and EMEA Marketing, overseeing marketing efforts across the firm's growth channels and regions.
Before OppenheimerFunds, Holahan spent 14 years at Goldman Sachs in a series of progressive leadership roles. Most recently, she served as Vice President of Marketing and Communications within Goldman Sachs Asset Management, where she directed marketing for the firm's quantitative and fundamental equity strategies. She also worked in Goldman's Executive Office, leading a global leadership program and strategic initiatives alongside then-CEO Lloyd Blankfein.
"ACORE Capital has built an exceptional platform and a differentiated position in commercial real estate lending, and I am thrilled to be joining at such a pivotal moment," Holahan said. "There is a tremendous opportunity to tell ACORE's story more broadly, deepen relationships within the global investor community and build the marketing infrastructure to support the firm's continued growth."
