Ava Benesocky
Chief Executive Officer
Ava Benesocky is Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of CPI Capital, where she is responsible for the firm’s executive leadership, strategic direction, and investor-facing platform. She plays a central role in shaping CPI Capital’s organizational infrastructure, governance framework, and investor engagement strategy, and serves as a Trustee of the CPI Capital U.S. Multifamily Fund, a Canadian investment vehicle structured as a mutual fund trust. In this capacity, Ava supports a structure designed to enable Canadian investors to allocate capital from registered retirement and self-directed accounts into CPI Capital’s U.S. syndicated real estate investments in a tax-efficient manner. Ava works closely with Chief Investment Officer August Biniaz and Vice President of Investments Paul Hopkins to ensure alignment across capital formation, fund management, and portfolio execution.
Since co-founding CPI Capital, Ava has been instrumental in establishing and scaling the firm’s core operating functions, including investor relations, marketing, financial administration, and fund-level operations. She provides executive leadership and strategic oversight across the firm’s platform, including acquisitions and asset management, and has contributed to the development of CPI Capital’s internal systems, reporting standards, and investor communication protocols that support the firm’s multifamily and build-to-rent investment strategies across the United States.
Ava brings a background in real estate brokerage and investment education, having built an early career focused on client advisory, capital allocation, and investor engagement. Her transition into private real estate investing was driven by a focus on institutional-quality execution, disciplined governance, and transparent investor communication. At CPI Capital, she is known for a highly hands-on approach to working with both retail and institutional investors and for maintaining a strong emphasis on fiduciary responsibility, clarity, and long-term alignment.
In addition to her executive role, Ava is an author, public speaker, and co-host of the Real Estate Investing Demystified podcast. She has spoken at major industry conferences and regularly appears on podcasts and digital platforms to discuss real estate private equity, investor relations, and capital formation. Her speaking engagements focus on practical education, market structure, and investor decision-making within private real estate markets.
Ava divides her time between Naples, Florida, and Vancouver, Canada, where she lives with her husband and their two young sons. She comes from an eight-generation lineage of Canadian farmers in Alberta and was raised by parents who are both accountants, instilling a strong foundation of discipline, accountability, and work ethic. Outside of her professional responsibilities, Ava is committed to investor education, mentorship, and advancing professional standards within the private real estate investment industry.
