Wellington Branch East Coast Regional Function - Napier

27 November 7:30a.m. - 9:00a.m. ~ Napier War Memorial

Rob Cameron, Partner, Cameron Partners Toby King, Director, Cameron Partners

Rob and Toby will canvas the current environment but more importantly explore how businesses should respond and adapt to this new world in order to survive and prosper. This environment calls for more than simply re-aligning the capital structure - those companies that re-assess their strategic "reason for being" and re-focus their business model and capabilities will be better positioned to not only survive in the current environment, but take full advantage of the opportunities that will emerge in the near future."

Rob established Cameron Partners in July 1995. With more than 20 years experience, he is recognised as one of New Zealand’s most experienced and skilled investment bankers.

Rob has led many of New Zealand’s high-profile transactions and advisory mandates over a number of years. Major mandates include advising the Directors of Fonterra Co-operative Group in relation to its capital structure reorganisation, advising the Independent Directors of Carter Holt Harvey in relation to the takeover offer from Rank Group Limited, Fletcher Challenge Forests on the sale of forest assets and Wrightson on a range of initiatives including the sale of Wrightson Farmers Finance. In 2001 Rob was appointed leader in the Crown negotiating team to resolve regulatory and commercial issues in relation to a proposed recapitalisation of Air New Zealand. Subsequently, with his colleague Murdo Beattie, he co-led the negotiations on behalf of the Crown which led to the restructuring and recapitalisation of Air New Zealand. Previously Rob has led teams advising Bell Atlantic and Ameritech on the acquisition of Telecom New Zealand, and managing the public float of Telecom New Zealand.

Since joining Cameron Partners in August 2005, Toby has advised on a number of transactions in the healthcare, consumer products, building and office products, rural supplies, property and energy sectors. Toby's experience includes working with family owned businesses, entrepreneurial ventures, small corporates, State-owned enterprises and international and domestic publicly listed companies. With a background in industry and strategy related roles, Toby's has also provided strategic and capital management advice across a range of sectors. Recent engagements have included work with Wakefield Health, Contact Energy, Lion Nathan, Unison Networks, New Zealand Oil & Gas, Loyalty New Zealand, World of Wearable Art and a range of other public and private companies.
