Ran Eliasaf is a retired Captain of the Israeli Navy, where he served active combat duty as Commander of a naval warship. Ran currently sits on the Board of AFN, a non-profit, apolitical organization providing vital assistance to army veterans and civilians suffering from PTSD, and on the board of American Friend of Unistream, which supports entrepreneurship programs in the periphery of Israel. He is passionate about real estate, surfing, and most importantly, serving as a good role model to his three children.
Ran founded Northwind Group in 2008 and oversees all company investment activities across its equity and debt strategies. Throughout his career, Ran has executed over 225 real estate transactions in the U.S. totaling over $4.0 billion in value, amassing a well-diversified portfolio in NYC consisting of residential and office properties and a significant portfolio of healthcare and senior living properties across the US. In 2017, Ran spearheaded the creation of Northwind’s debt platform, including the formation of Northwind’s dedicated closed-ended real estate debt funds with now over $3 billion in AUM. Under Ran’s leadership, Northwind has evolved into a reputable institutional-grade private equity firm, consistently improving its capabilities and expanding its operations, know-how, and industry recognition while adhering to strict core values of honesty and transparency. Ran is a sought-after speaker in the NYC real estate community and is frequently quoted by several real estate news outlets. Before forming Northwind Group, Ran led the real estate investments of one of Israel’s largest family offices and invested in a 5 million square foot portfolio of 32 grocery-anchored shopping centers located in Florida and Texas.
