Deloitte announced the appointment of John Marker as a new corporate finance partner and national infrastructure and capital projects lead.

Marker has extensive corporate finance experience built over 20 years’ working in senior leadership roles. He brings deep mergers and acquisitions advisory expertise, particularly in the infrastructure space, to his new role.

Marker joins Deloitte from Rockpoint Corporate Finance, an investment banking and broking business he co-founded in 2007. Prior to his time with Rockpoint, Marker held roles with blue chip investment banking firms Macquarie Bank and HRL Morrison as well as experience in the professional services industry.

Deloitte CEO Thomas Pippos said the ability to attract talent like Marker underpins Deloitte’s continued growth in the New Zealand market.

“John’s recruitment will help us grow our corporate finance footprint in the market and further build on our reputation in the provision of transaction and advisory services in the infrastructure space,” said Pippos.
