Berkshire Capital appoints VP for new Aus office

US investment bank Berkshire Capital, a provider of strategic and M&A advisory services, has announced the expansion of its Australian team, appointing Glenn Dunn as vice president, based in the firm's new Sydney office.

Dunn most recently served as the CFO of Ascalon Capital Managers, and previously worked in senior financial roles at St. George Bank Wealth Management and GIO Asset Management.

Joining Dunn in the Sydney office is Nelson Lam who has been appointed as principal and executive director of Berkshire Capital Australia.

Commenting on both new hires, Ian Martin, Berkshire's vice-chair, Asia Pacific, said: "The addition of Nelson and Glenn will allow us to take on a broader array of opportunities and is very timely given the market developments we are seeing."

Concurrent with this development, Berkshire has announced that Ian Martin, who has led Berkshire's efforts in the Asia-Pacific region for the last seven years, will continue his affiliation with the bank but will be dedicating more time to his various non-executive directorships and other interests.
