  • Alex Gismondi

    Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Transact Group

    Alex Gismondi is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Transact group, which he has built into a diversified platform spanning commercial real estate, debt and equity advisory and insurance broking, giving clients one senior team across the full life of an asset. Under his leadership the group has advised on more than $2 billion in funding.

He is also the founder of Royal Oak Capital, where he chairs the investment committee and invests as a principal alongside investors. Alex began his career at CBRE and holds a Bachelor of Commerce with a double major in Property and Finance from Curtin University.
