Baker’s appointment has been confirmed by the firm’s non-executive chairman, Brian Thomas, who said Baker brought vast experience in delivering elegant solutions to complex challenges and a collaborative leadership style to the business.
“Tim is an experienced finance industry professional. He has established and operated superannuation funds, hedge funds and led teams of risk professionals in Australia, Asia and Europe for more than 20 years,” Thomas said.
He said Republic Capital had a great team of analysts and developers who had brought the service to the point of wide release to advisers.
