All seven appointees have now commenced across the firm’s offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Horizon Nexus Partners looks forward to announcing further senior appointments across its practice areas in the months ahead. **The appointments** **Admitted to the partnership** | Partner | Joins from | Focus area | | Iain Yuile | PwC | Transaction services | | Priya Taliwal | PwC | Transaction services | | Alexandra White | Deloitte | Valuations | | Guy Fisher | DLA Piper | Integrations and separations | | Simon Uykun                | DLA Piper | Integrations and separations | **Appointed as directors** | Director | Joins from | Focus area | | Aarani Anandabaskaran | PwC | Transaction services | | Anthony Penklis | EY | Transaction services | **Iain Yuile** joins as a senior transaction services partner from PwC. Iain is a trusted adviser to leading corporate clients, financial sponsors and their portfolio companies on large, complex transactions, including buy-side and sell-side financial due diligence and carve-outs. **Priya Taliwal** joins from PwC, further strengthening the firm’s transaction services capability across corporate and sponsor-led deals. **Alexandra White** joins from Deloitte with extensive experience in independent valuations of businesses, equity interests and intangible assets for transactions, financial reporting, tax and dispute purposes. **Guy Fisher** and **Simon Uykun** join from DLA Piper, bringing a senior-led operational lens to separation and integration services, advising boards and sponsors on carve- out design, transitional service arrangements, value creation and day-one readiness. **Aarani Anandabaskaran** and **Anthony Penklis** join as transaction services directors, bolstering the practice’s execution capability as the firm’s deal pipeline grows. **Depth and a sharpened valuations offer** The appointment of Iain Yuile and the other senior hires announced today signals Horizon Nexus Partners’ intent to compete for the largest and most complex private equity and corporate mandates, combining deep transaction expertise with a highly experienced, partner-led advisory model. Financial sponsors and corporates increasingly want one team that can run diligence, value the asset and plan the separation or integration. Horizon’s Deals Advisory practice is already supporting significant transactions, including recent work for REA Group on its announced acquisition of a 35% interest in Ireland-based Distilled Ltd, and for 38sth on its investment in New Plumbing Solutions. Alexandra White’s arrival materially expands Horizon Nexus Partners’ valuations capability at a time when demand is set to rise. Recent Federal Budget measures are expected to require many businesses, trusts and investors to obtain independent asset valuations in 2027. Horizon Nexus Partners expects clients to need defensible, well-documented valuations for tax, financial reporting and transaction purposes, and has built the team to deliver this at scale. **Quotes** **Rob Silverwood, CEO, Horizon Nexus Partners:** "Significantly expanding the Deals Advisory practice in a single month is a statement about where Horizon Nexus Partners is heading.
