Maslow Capital Promotes Emma Burke to Managing Director of Development Finance Origination for the UK & Europe
Maslow Capital, a leading pan-European real estate finance provider, has announced the promotion of Emma Burke to Managing Director of Development Finance Origination for the UK & Europe. In her expanded role, Emma will lead Maslow’s Development Finance Origination teams across the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, reinforcing Maslow’s position as the partner of choice for developers seeking multi-product, cross-border lending solutions.
Emma brings over 18 years of specialist finance experience, having played a key role in Maslow’s continued success. Her leadership will be instrumental in strengthening Maslow’s European platform, ensuring the lender continues to deliver innovative and tailored financial solutions while maintaining its market-leading service standards.
With an unwavering commitment to client-first lending, Emma will spearhead Maslow’s efforts to support developers addressing the UK and Europe’s chronic housing undersupply.

Emma’s promotion comes at a time of significant growth for Maslow Capital, reflecting its broader commitment to whole-lifecycle finance solutions—allowing borrowers to benefit from staying with one trusted lender throughout their entire investment journey. Emma’s team will continue to work in close collaboration with Maslow Capital’s Managing Director of Short-Term Finance, Mark Posniak, who oversees bridging, refurbishment, and developer exit finance, and Adam Baghdadi, Head of Maslow’s Lending Solutions division, whose team caters to unique events and asset classes such as project recapitalisations, loan purchases, and lending against specialist real estate.
Maslow has emerged as one of Europe’s most active lenders, having recently completed over €806.4 million (€800 million) in financing. The lender continues to support experienced sponsors with high-quality, well-located living sector projects, providing certainty of execution and a strong alternative to traditional lenders.
“Maslow Capital has evolved significantly over the past 16 years, growing into a pan-European lender with over 74 professionals across five countries. Throughout this time, we have demonstrated the power of partnerships built on trust, supporting the growth of real estate professionals of all sizes with dependable funding. Maslow has a real opportunity to drive growth and alleviate supply constraints across the UK and Europe, and I am delighted to take on this role at such an exciting time for the sector.”Emma Burke, Managing Director of Development Finance Origination
