FNG has learned that leading Australia based online brokerage group Pepperstone has hired Caitlin Walsh, as Head of Corporate Affairs.

Caitlin Walsh spent the past nine years with fintech systems provider Block (NYSE:XYZ) and its predecessor brand Square, serving as Head of Corporate & Policy Communications APAC for Block since 2021.

Caitlin posted the following note on LinkedIn about her move to Pepperstone.

Excited to share that I’ve recently joined Pepperstone to lead Corporate Affairs.

Pepperstone is one of the most successful Australian fintech stories you’ve probably never heard of, and I can’t wait to help tell it! Over 15 years, the company scaled into one of the world’s leading online trading providers serving clients in 160+ countries, all while keeping its HQ anchored in Melbourne.

I’ve got a lot to learn about trading, but I’m excited to be part of a mission that’s bigger than the markets. We’re democratising access for everyday and professional traders to the tools and opportunities once locked away by institutions.

Thanks to Tamas Szabo, Andrew Housden and Clara Crombie for the opportunity.

And bonus, it’s only my second week and I get to be part of something special, Pepperstone Crypto is partnering on the upcoming FourNTwenty Legends Game. AFL greats are returning for a good cause, to support prostate cancer research, so be a legend or support a legend and grab a personalised virtual jumper for $25.
