MaxCap has promoted an internal executive to lead the expansion of the group’s institutional-grade real estate credit and equity funds management platform, with the appointment of Kylie Robb as its Chief Executive Officer.

The Apollo Global Management-backed firm, which manages $7 billion in assets, elevated Robb to the top job less than two years after she joined as Chief Financial Officer and Deputy Chief Executive from the National Australia Bank.

MaxCap said Robb has been instrumental in delivering significant operational and structural enhancements, with a particular focus on group’s financial performance, governance and risk management.

The veteran, who boasts more than 25 years of experience in financial services, began her career with a 15-year tenure at Goldman Sachs in New York and Sydney across banking, sales and trading roles.

She then went to become Executive General Manager and Chief Financial Officer for the business and private bank division at NAB. Earlier, she also led funding and liquidity within Commonwealth Bank’s group treasury division.

The firm has also appointed Thomas Spencer as Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Robb in the role.

Spencer has held CFO and company secretary positions at ASX-listed companies and has worked across funds management, financial services and private equity in Australia and overseas.

He is also a certified practising accountant (CPA) and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD).
