McKean departs Maple-Brown Abbott

Maple-Brown Abbott's head of ESG, Natasha McKean, has left the organisation.

In a statement, the organisation said she decided to take a position in Brisbane, where she lives.

McKean, who has been on maternity leave for the last year, is replaced by Emma Pringle who has been covering the role for the last year.

Maple-Brown Abbot chief investment officer Garth Rossler said that McKean had been pivotal in developing and implementing the organisation's strategies for the last 14 years. "We thank Natasha for her immense contribution to Maple-Brown Abbott and wish her well for her future endeavours.

"With her strong ESG background, Emma will continue to build on what Natasha started. ESG considerations are playing an increasingly important role in our clients' portfolios with the transition to net zero."
