Pallas Capital has appointed Robin Owles as Chief Risk Officer in a strategic move which strengthens our commitment to best-in-class governance and transparency.
Robin brings a wealth of experience from senior roles at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, EY, and UBS Investment Bank. Her expertise spans Operational Risk, Compliance, Technology, Cyber, and Data Risk, with a proven track record in managing complex risk environments within both global and domestic financial institutions. Her leadership will be instrumental in supporting Pallas Capital’s sustainable growth and internal regulatory oversight.
In her new role, Robin will oversee the development and enhancement of Pallas Capital’s risk and governance frameworks. “I am thrilled to join Pallas Capital during this pivotal period for non-bank lending,” said Robin. “As the industry grows and matures, so too must our approach to risk. This means further strengthening existing frameworks to prioritise governance and prepare us for future regulatory developments, ensuring we remain ahead of the curve in an evolving landscape.”
Dan Gallen, Chief Investment Officer at Pallas Capital, commented: “Robin’s extensive expertise in risk management and her hands-on approach to regulatory compliance will be invaluable as we expand our presence across the APAC region. Her ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes with integrity aligns with our vision for sustainable growth.”
In her role, Robin will report directly to the Chairman Patrick Keenan, working closely with both the origination and distribution teams to advance risk-aware strategies that align with Pallas Capital’s growth objectives.
