Elysse Morgan, a journalist and the host of “The Business” at Australia’s ABC, has left to join investment firm Stafford Capital Partners. Morgan will “work with superannuation funds investing in forestry and will lead the firm’s business development agenda in Australia.”

Morgan will begin in 2023.

She had been in journalism for 15 years and previously, served as a rural reporter for the ABC and Sky News.

At times, she filled in for the ABC’s business commentator Alan Kohler.

Stafford Chair Brett Himbury said, “Elysse Morgan has been investigating and interrogating businesses and business leaders in this country on ABC-TV for over a decade. The fact that Elysse is attracted to building the Stafford business in the Australian market is a great outcome. In addition, Elysse’s role as a trustee director and her deep involvement in superannuation give rise to her bringing a truly unique experience set.”

Morgan added,

“I want to be part of the solution to the climate change challenge and Stafford is one of the biggest investors in carbon reducing forestry plantations on the planet.

“I look forward to joining an organization with a great culture and strong track record in delivering superior returns across private equity, private debt, timber and infrastructure.”

Be sure to congratulate Morgan on Twitter.
