He will be returning to Australia in the coming weeks to lead what is already a market-leading practice.

Head of Global Banking, Australia and New Zealand Scott Perkins said, “Geoff brings to this important role both considerable understanding of financial institutions and their strategic and financing challenges, as well as connections with major Australian based FIG clients.”

“Just over three years ago, the Australian management team set the objective to be a top-three investment bank by profitability, market share and reputation across our business. Geoff’s appointment is another important hire in this strategic plan.”
