Samuel to head Greenhill Caliburn in Melbourne


Outgoing Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) chairman, Graeme Samuel (pictured), will soon run the Melbourne office of independent investment bank Greenhill Caliburn.
Samuel will take up the position of managing director and head of the Melbourne office next month when he retires from the ACCC, where he has been since 2003.
Samuel is well known throughout the financial services industry as being the executive director of Hill Samuel Australia, which subsequently became Macquarie Bank.
He has also served as president of the National Competition Council, commissioner of the Australian Football League, and a trustee of the Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust.
Greenhill Caliburn focuses on providing financial advice on significant mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, financings and capital raising to corporations, institutions and governments.
Co-chief executive Ron Malek said Samuel would be responsible for focusing on expanding the firm’s client advisory activities.
“The depth of his experience in the public and private sectors and his experience in mergers and acquisitions will be of great benefit and value to our clients,” Malek said.
