Goldman Sachs’ Ian Taylor has left for a role at a company he helped list on the ASX

Goldman Sachs’ head of equity capital markets Ian Taylor will leave the firm next year to take up a role at APM Human Services, which he helped list on the ASX two years ago.

Mr Taylor has been with Goldman Sachs in Australia since late 2020, and before that for almost 19 years across Hong Kong, Sydney and New York, with a brief stint from late 2018-late 2020 as head of investment banking for New York-based Galaxy Digital.

He will join APM early next year as chief strategy officer, overseeing strategic planning, business development, corporate development and investor relations.

Aaron Lamshed, who joined Goldman Sachs in 2014 as an executive director and was named managing director in 2021, will step into Mr Taylor’s Goldman Sachs role. He is currently head of syndicate.

“During this time, Aaron has demonstrated exceptional market knowledge and execution expertise, having led numerous milestone ECM transactions across a broad range of sectors,’’ Goldman Sachs said in a statement.

“In his new role, Aaron will assume responsibility for the strategic direction and success of our ECM franchise in Australia and New Zealand, while maintaining his existing responsibilities as head of syndicate.

“We are also pleased to announce that Mike Cluskey will be joining Financing Group.

“In his new role, Mike will assume transaction origination and execution responsibilities across the spectrum of financing group products, while maintaining his existing coverage responsibilities with select clients in the financial institutions sector.

“Mike joined Goldman Sachs as executive director in 2012.’’

APM was founded by former occupational therapist Megan Wynne almost 30 years ago, and floated on November 12, 2021.

Ms Wynne is executive chair of the business, which operates across 11 countries and more than 1500 sites providing services such as allied health and psychological intervention, medical, psychosocial and vocational rehabilitation, vocational training and employment assistance and community-based support services.

The Perth-based company this year reported a net profit up 72 per cent to $158m, on a 43 per cent revenue surge to $1.896bn.

Morgan Stanley was at the time predicting a further 15 per cent revenue increase this year and 7 per cent earnings per share increase.

The company said Mr Taylor “has had extensive involvement with APM since 2021, advising on its IPO and the acquisition of Equus in 2022’’.

“Ian has extensive experience working with a broad range of leading companies and investors around the globe, including directly in many of APM’s key international growth markets in North America and Asia Pacific,’’ the company told the ASX.
