Orchard Street Investment Management—Dawn Marie La Monica

Regulatory change specialist joins as compliance head 

Specialist commercial property investment manager Orchard Street Investment Management LLP has announced the appointment of Dawn Marie La Monica as its head of compliance and risk.

Dawn joins Orchard Street from credit asset management and debt advisory firm Cairn Capital, where she most recently held the position of chief compliance officer. She has also previously worked at the Financial Conduct Authority, as well as Cordium (now part of ACA Compliance) and Capital Group International. She is a New York-qualified lawyer, and brings with her extensive experience as a regulatory change specialist.

Philip Gadsden, Orchard Street’s managing partner, commented: ‘Dawn brings a real wealth of relevant experience to our company, and builds on the recent recruitment of similarly talented individuals joining Orchard Street during this exciting period of growth. Her specialist knowledge of new regulation makes her the right person to best position our business as we look ahead to the future at a time of outward political and regulatory uncertainty.’
