WESTPORT, Conn., July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LCR Capital Partners is happy to announce that Bassel Sweid has agreed to join LCR as our Director of Corporate Development.

"Bassel joins the LCR team with over 10 years of professional investment experience, including working with immigration investments and international real estate. As someone who has focused much of his professional career on high-net-worth families, Bassel makes an excellent addition to the firm and shows our commitment to having advisors in the region to assist our clients as they explore global opportunities," said Sherman Baldwin, CEO of LCR Capital Partners.
