He most recently consulted to a range of fund managers, banks, insurers and dealer groups as well as to technology companies, including IRESS. Previously, he led the media regulations team at BT Financial Group for years and worked for a public relations agency for communications and marketing.

Based in Sydney, he will be responsible for leading IRESS’s communications and marketing team globally. He will oversee all internal and external communications, including corporate, business, and employee communications, as well as the firm’s marketing strategy and programme.
