ABC TV’s Elysse Morgan to join Stafford Capital Partners in Australia
Sydney, 6 December 2022 – Senior ABC TV finance presenter Elysse Morgan will join Stafford Capital Partners in 2023, to lead the firm’s business development agenda in Australia. ABC – the Australian Broadcasting Corporation – is the national broadcaster of Australia.
Commenting on the appointment, Stafford Chair Brett Himbury said today that he was thrilled that such a senior Australian finance figure was attracted to join the team.
“Elysse Morgan has been investigating and interrogating businesses and business leaders in this country on ABC TV for over a decade. The fact that Elysse is attracted to building the Stafford business in the Australian market is a great outcome.
“In addition, Elysse’s role as a trustee director and her deep involvement in superannuation give rise to her bringing a truly unique experience set.
“Elysse will work with superannuation funds in Australia, as well as other institutional investors, to help them realise their net zero aspirations and deliver great returns for their members.
“Stafford is very committed to growing the business in Australia and Elysse will be central to those efforts.”
Stafford Capital Partners was founded in 2000 in Sydney, with London becoming the Head Office following the appointment of its London-based CEO Angus Whiteley in 2012.
Elysse Morgan said today that while it was hard to leave journalism after 15 years, the Stafford opportunity was irresistible.
“I want to be part of the solution to the climate change challenge and Stafford is one of the biggest investors in carbon reducing forestry plantations on the planet. I look forward to joining an organisation with a great culture and strong track record in delivering superior returns across private equity, private debt, timber and infrastructure.”
