Brian Hartzer has joined Sayers, a “modern advisory and investment business designed for the new economy” and founded by former PricewaterhouseCoopers CEO Luke Sayers in 2020.
“We are delighted to welcome Brian Hartzer to the Sayers team as a senior adviser. At Sayers, we are determined to bring together the brightest and the best. As an experienced executive, leadership mentor and investor, Brian’s strategic insight will make a meaningful contribution to our clients and our business,” the company said in a statement.
Mr Hartzer departed Westpac after news broke in 2019 that the bank had breached anti-money laundering and counterterrorism financing legislation. Mr Hartzer was replaced by Peter King and Westpac eventually paid a penalty of $1.3 billion. Mr Sayers welcomed the appointment of Mr Hartzer, saying that his “unique insight and strategic advice” will be a “game changer” for the firm and its clients.
Sayers offers family office and business advisory services, and private market, global investment, and impact investing consultancy.
