GBST strengthens its executive team with two new hires

GBST has made two new Australian appointments to its executive team with Stacey Kelly joining as finance head and Marie Maky promoted to chief people officer.

This follows the recent appointment of Kirsty Worgan, the firm's UK-based head of commerce that rounds out GBST's new executive.

All three report to global chief executive Robert DeDominicis.

In the new role, Kelly will help develop and implement corporate strategy - alongside GBST board members from private equity firm Anchorage Capital Partners, DeDominicis and the rest of the executive leadership team.

GBST said Kelly brings a depth and breadth of experience in finance and a solid track record in managing finance teams. She joins from the Mainstream Group where she was the chief financial officer.

Before that, she held senior roles with Macquarie Telecom, Macquarie Group, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and HSBC Bank.

Before her promotion, Maky was a senior HR Business Partner at GBST.

Earlier, she led teams at Cuscal, eftpos Payments Australia and Cochlear.

"I am delighted to welcome Stacey and Marie to the Executive Team and look forward to working alongside both to execute on the exciting growth and expansion plans we have for the wealth management market, both in Australia and internationally," said DeDominicis.
