Our list of Bankers Trust
Australia alumni who have made it good after their stint at
industry-leading investment banks continues to grow with one kind soul
sending us the BT executive management list from 1992-96. It’s an
impressive lot of high-fliers, some of whom make the Millionaire’s
Factory down at Number One Martin Place, Sydney, look a little slow in
their career achievements. There’s even one former BTer who is now at
the Millionaire’s Factory in one of its newest offshoots!

The
alumni include several leading fund managers or founders of major funds
management groups. Warwick Negus with Peter Morgan at 452 capital, Keir
Neilson at Platinum, Paul Moore at PM Capital, Mike Crivelli at
Perennial, plus people on the board of the NSW Treasury Corp.

Of
course there was Laurence Freedman who started Equitlink with Brian
Sherman after a couple of years at BT in the late 70s, and Chris
Corrigan, now at Patrick Corp. An impressive list of achievers.

heavyhitters of their day and remain so.
