22 August 2024

Today we are trying a slightly different format in inviting you all into a discussion we had with Mark Carnegie, a titan of the Australian investment banking landscape and his interest in crypto assets.

Mark has more than 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur, investor and corporate advisor in New York, London and Sydney. From 1990 to 2000 Mark was the Australian and Asian representative of  Hellman & Friedman following his training on Wall Street with James  D.  Wolfensohn and, in London, at Hudson Conway with Lloyd Williams. In 2000 Mark co-founded leading Australian boutique corporate advisory and private equity firm Carnegie, Wylie & Co Pty Limited with John Wylie. Carnegie Wylie was acquired by leading Wall Street bank, Lazard Inc in  2007, and following the sale, Mark was appointed the CEO of Lazard Australia Private Equity.

Throughout his career, Mark has been involved in a range of diverse Australian and Asian investments and has participated in groups that have acquired major stakes in the Courage Pub Estate, John Fairfax Holdings, Hoyts Cinemas, Formula One Holdings, SCTV, Macquarie Radio Network, Lonely Planet Publications and London Sumatra Plantations. As a corporate advisor, Mark has advised Qantas and Coles Myer on general strategic matters, Westfield on its A$22 billion merger and Qantas on its JetStarAsia start-up in Singapore.

Mark holds a BA from Oxford University and a BSc (Hons) from Melbourne University.  He is a former Treasurer of the Oxford Union. Please join us as we listen in on a recent call we had with Mark regarding the case for having a meaningful allocation to crypto assets in your portfolio.
