Appian appoints M&A specialist to head its Australia business
Private capital investor Appian Capital Advisory has appointed mining merger and acquisition (M&A) specialist Kieran Beck as its new head of Australia.
Beck will be based in Perth and lead Appian’s operations across Australia, overseeing origination, transaction evaluation, due diligence and investment structuring, as well as managing its portfolio companies in the region. His appointment, the firm says, will support its efforts to optimise its existing investments and identify new opportunities.
“We are pleased to welcome Kieran as our new head of Australia,” said founder and CEO Michael W. Scherb. “His deep mining financing and M&A experience in Australia will be a valuable asset as Appian pursues its growth ambitions in the region. His appointment reflects our commitment to strengthening our presence and operations in this strategically important market.”
Beck joins Appian from Hyperion Resource Partners, a mining-focused investment firm backed by Elliott Investment Management, where he was head of business evaluation. He was responsible for screening and assessing investments across various commodities and deal structures.
He previously worked in business development at Newcrest Mining, where he played a role in major transactions including Newcrest’s acquisition of Pretium Resources and its eventual takeover by Newmont. Earlier in his career, Beck was a director in the investment banking natural resources team at UBS in Australia.
“I am delighted to join Appian as the business builds on its already strong foundation in Australia,” said Beck. “I look forward to collaborating with Appian’s Australian and international teams to showcase its unique business model and unlock further growth. This is an exciting time for the natural resources sector in Australia and I’m motivated to help position Appian at the forefront of these opportunities.”
