Paul Murnane

 “Executive Coaching provides an incredibly valuable support to senior executives in highly challenging roles in volatile and growing markets; FGCP coaching supports their need to meet and balance shareholder’s current needs and the organisations short, medium and long term goals.” 

Paul Murnane’s executive career is a perfect fit for his Sponsor Support role with FGCP. He has over 35 years diversified experience in financial services, consulting and general management in Australia and overseas which has provided him with a unique perspective of the challenges facing FGCP’s sponsoring organisations. 

Paul has over 25 years investment banking experience in Australia and overseas, including Citibank and Goldman Sachs JBWere, where he specialised in corporate finance, project and structured finance, especially in the financial services, energy and resources sectors. This complements Paul’s 15 years as a Partner and Managing Director of a leading global executive search partnership where he advised and recruited extensively at the Chairman, non-executive director, chief executive and senior management levels in Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

This experience has provided him with a deep understanding of the qualities, experience and knowledge needed by FGCP’s clients in their executive roles, and an ability to connect this to both their organisation’s objectives and their individual career challenges. 

This ensures that Paul can identify which of the FGCP coaches will best be able to meet both the organisation’s needs and the needs of executives and also provide support to both the coaching sponsors as well as to the executives being coached.   

Paul has a BEc and an MBA. He is Chairman of an independent investment bank, a Director of a listed biopharmaceutical company, a Director (and past Chairman) of Multiple Sclerosis NSW/Victoria and MS Australia, and Deputy President of the Library Council of NSW. He also serves on the Boards and committees of organisations involved in philanthropy, public policy, the arts and corporate governance.

Paul and his wife Annie have two delightful daughters and he has avid interests in rugby, yachting, theatre, history, travel and fine wines.
