Summary
Starwood Property Trust executed a Board transition on August 10, 2026, appointing President Jeffrey DiModica to the Board and Investment Committee while accepting the resignation of long-serving director Jeffrey Dishner. DiModica has served as President since 2014 and leads investment committees across the company's business lines managing approximately $31 billion in assets.
He previously served as a director from the company's 2009 inception until July 2014, making this a return to the Board. He will serve without additional compensation and will not be considered independent.
Dishner's departure after 17 years of service represents the loss of institutional knowledge, though the filing explicitly states his resignation involved no disagreements with the company on operations, policies, or practices. The simultaneous timing suggests a planned transition rather than an unexpected departure. DiModica's deep operational experience and existing leadership of the company's investment committees provides continuity in Board oversight of the company's investment strategy.
