Talaria Capital has appointed Brooke Simpson to the newly created role of sales director, based in its Sydney office, further strengthening the firm’s growing distribution team across Australia.
Talaria CEO, Jamie Mead, says Ms Simpson’s expertise in wealth management and fund distribution will be an asset for Talaria’s growing team.
“Brooke’s strong background in client relationship management, fund manager engagement, and business development makes her an excellent fit for our expanding team. Her skills and energy will be invaluable as we continue to grow our investor base and deliver strong outcomes for our clients,” Mr Mead says.
Before joining Talaria, Ms Simpson worked at Wilsons Advisory and Koda Capital in Sydney, gaining deep expertise in investment products spanning equities, fixed income and alternatives. She also spent time at Tsetsaut Ventures in Northern British Columbia.
Ms Simpson’s appointment comes as Talaria continues to broaden its footprint in the Australian market, with growing demand from advisers and institutions for the firm’s alternative investment approach.
Ms Simpson’s appointment follows the hiring of Kate Doherty as fund administrator and Krish Bhattacharjee as an operations analyst. Ms Doherty brings extensive experience across financial services both in Australia and internationally, including senior roles in fund and trust administration with UBS Fund Services (Cayman) Ltd, Butterfield Bank (Cayman) Ltd, and HSBC Trustee (Guernsey) Ltd. Mr Bhattacharjee brings over six years of financial experience, including 2.5 years in investment operations at Vanguard, focusing on equity and fixed income funds.
“As we expand our reach, it is crucial that we bring on board people who share our values and bring fresh perspectives. These appointments will help continue our growth and realise our vision,” Mr Mead says.
Ms Simpson holds a Master of Financial Planning from UNSW, and a BBA (Finance, Accounting Minor), from Thompson Rivers University, Canada.
Ms Doherty holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Melbourne University and is a Chartered Accountant.
Mr Bhattacharjee holds a Master’s degree in Accounting and International Finance from Deakin University.
