Rowly has over 20 years experience in equity, equity derivative and investor relations advice.

Rowly and his team have designed and developed Relate to address key deficiencies in the way that meeting performance is measured. He firmly believes that relying on broadcast techniques as the basis for a relationship, such as market and product releases, is outdated thinking. That group virtual meetings are a far superior method to make that human connection but also to measure meeting performance and relationships over time. By improving the standard which active asset and product managers engage their stakeholders, this will lead to growth in their business.

Prior to this Rowly lived for twelve years in the US. There he launched a business for CBA before joining Macquarie where he built relationships with key decision makers from over 100 fund managers in the USA and Canada

He delivered best practice marketing roadshows on behalf of Australia’s largest listed companies and his team was awarded 2015 Best Overall Offshore Australian Equities Sales Presence from Australian Investor Relations Association (AIRA)

Prior to this he was part of the start-up team that established AOT Securities. AOT was bought by Commsec after the development of a successful institutional and retail straight through processing interface.
