Speaking about the appointment, Macquarie group managing director and CEO Shemara Wikramanayake said: “I’m delighted to welcome Evie to Macquarie, having had the pleasure of working closely together over many years.”

“Evie’s broad transactions experience across a range of relevant sectors, as well as her proven leadership and development of a large global group of lawyers at KWM, will be a significant asset to Macquarie in the years ahead. I would also like to thank Michael for the commitment and deep expertise he has demonstrated throughout a long and successful career with Macquarie,” she said.

Ms Bruce will be based in Sydney and shall also join Macquarie’s executive committee.
