The opening of the Madrid office underscores Ascension Advisory's dedication to offering European clients direct access to its specialized services. Mat Wainwright's role as Director, European Sales is pivotal to Ascension's growth strategy and its ambition to mainstream the sale and leaseback strategy throughout Europe. This new office will play a crucial role in ensuring that Ascension’s global client base benefits from comprehensive and innovative corporate finance solutions.

Chelsea Mandel, Founder and Managing Director of Ascension Advisory, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion into Madrid and the integration of Mat Wainwright into the team. "Our growth into Madrid and the integration of Mat Wainwright into our team are critical steps in ensuring broader access to our innovative real estate capital solutions for clients all throughout Europe," Mandel stated.
