TCorp bolsters senior leadership with new GM Financial Markets

NSW Treasury Corporation (TCorp), the financial and investment management provider for the NSW Government, has announced a suite of new leadership appointments, including Paul Verschuer, who joined as general manager for financial markets, effective 16 January 2017.

Verschuer joined TCorp from Westpac, where he held senior roles over the past 12 years, most recently as general manager, business bank responsible for the specialised finance business. He has also held senior roles at Zurich Capital Markets Asia and Bankers Trust Australia.

Joining Verschuer in the new leadership team is Stewart Brentnall, as chief investment officer; Katharine Seymour, as GM client relationships; Katy McDonald as GM HR and internal communications and Kevin Masling as chief risk officer.

Commenting on the appointments, TCorp CEO, David Deverall, said that as TCorp assumed significant scale as an asset manager, it was important it had the leadership and executive capabilities to match.

"These appointments bolster TCorp's organisational capabilities in key areas of our operations, both capital markets-facing and internally. Each of the appointments brings highly relevant experience gained at the coalface of capital markets and financial services, in Australia and in some cases internationally. We look forward to their contribution as we position TCorp for growth."
