Cevdet Caner
Cevdet Caner is a Kurdish-Austrian real estate entrepreneur. He is chief executive of Aggregate Holdings.[1] He is resident in Monaco.[2]
Early life and education[edit]
Caner was active in youth politics, serving as president of the Socialist Youth Austria (SJÖ) in Linz.[3] He founded his first company, CLC, while studying business administration.[3]
Career[edit]
In 1997, Caner founded Call & Logistik Center GesmbH (CLC) and became its managing director.[4] CLC then took over the larger call centre group Camelot.[5] Caner sold his shares and left the company three years later.[4]
In 2005, Cevdet Caner founded the real estate holding company Level One, registered on the Channel Island of Jersey.[4] By 2008, the portfolio had grown to around 28,000 residential units with a total value of 1.85 billion euros.[4] Credit Suisse, JP Morgan, Royal Bank of Scotland and other British firms invested into Level One.[6] Credit Suisse, the largest lender, approved a total of €1.3 billion in loans to Level One, and also served as leading bank for the IPO planned for March 2007.[6] This IPO was postponed, and the second attempt was foiled by the subprime crisis.[6] In 2008, the real estate group filed for bankruptcy for its German property companies.[7] Caner's £20 million London property was repossessed in 2009, the largest property repossession in British history at that time.[3]
In 2022, Caner became shareholder and CEO of Aggregate Holdings SA.[1]
