Sebastian Mays
Specialist global investment consulting firm, bfinance, has strengthened their presence in Australia with the appointment of Sebastian Mays to the newly created role of Business Development Director. This new position has been created to facilitate and drive the ongoing expansion of bfinance’s business in Australia.
Mr Mays has 8 years of experience in the investment management industry and holds both a Bachelor of Arts from Monash University and a Certificate of Applied Finance from Macquarie University. He started with bfinance officially on 14 June, 2022.
Prior to joining bfinance, he began his career at Shed Enterprises, a placement agent specialising in asset management capital raising. During this time, he held numerous positions including Investment Specialist and Business Development Manager.
Mr Mays will drive the development of bfinance’s growing suite of solutions including fee benchmarking, operational risk management and ESG analysis.
“I am excited to join the bfinance team and I look forward to furthering their growth within the Australian market,” Mr Mays said.
“Given the difficulty of asset allocation in our current market environment, asset owners will be looking for specialty knowledge and insights from their consultants. I strongly believe that close relationships and a dynamic knowledge of client portfolios is critical in managing individual portfolios and I look forward to furthering bfinance’s strong focus on this.”
Senior Director Client Consulting at bfinance, Frithjof van Zyp, said Mr Mays will play a pivotal role in the growth of bfinance and will incorporate his expertise within the wealth management sector.
“It was my pleasure to welcome Sebastian to the bfinance team earlier this month. His positive attitude, coupled with his experience in engaging both institutional and wholesale investors across multiple asset classes, will allow us to continue delivering bespoke solutions across Australia’s growing market of asset owners,” Mr van Zyp said.
