New CEO for Wingate

Specialist global equities manager, Wingate Asset Management, has appointed Jamie Mead as the new chief executive officer based in the firm's Melbourne office.

Mead most recently held the position of partner at Tyrus Capital, a European based investment firm managing global equities funds.

He started his career in the UK at the investment bank Morgan Stanley.

Chad Padowitz, chief investment officer at Wingate Asset Management said Mead's experience spanning the gamut of global financial services is a welcome addition to Wingate Asset Management's expert team.

"Jamie's international experience in the asset management industry, having successfully driven business expansion within financial institutions across the globe, brings additional depth of expertise to Wingate Asset Management's operations."
