Australia-based global diversified alternative investment firm, QIC, has announced the promotion of Brian Delaney to senior managing director - U.S., effective 1 July 2018.

In this role, Delaney will lead QIC's efforts to foster client relationships and business development opportunities in the U.S., provide insights on investment trends to inform corporate strategy, and share market intelligence with the firm's investment teams.
