KPMG has poached James O’Leary, who was most recently head of property and alternative investments for Colonial First State Global Asset Management.
O’Leary has been appointed specialist adviser to KPMG’s Advisory practice, with a focus on investment management and property and infrastructure services.
“Enhancing our capabilities and market position in the real estate, infrastructure and investment sectors is an important strategic objective for KPMG. There is strong demand from clients in these sectors looking to improve their organisations’ performance. And there is a very real opportunity for KPMG to grow our presence as market conditions improve,” KPMG Advisory national managing partner Gary Wingrove said.
O’Leary will play a strategic role in the development and enhancement of KPMG’s service offering across the property, infrastructure and investment sectors. He will also provide specialist support to KPMG’s fast growing mergers & acquisitions advisory team.
Prior to joining Colonial, O’Leary was executive director in the corporate and finance division of Gresham Partners and a solicitor in the merger and acquisitions team at Clayton Utz.
