Staff spotlight – Aaron Werdiger

Can you tell us about yourself and your background?

I’m a proud Orthodox Jew from Caulfield North. After school, I delved into Rabbinical Talmudic studies across Israel and the USA, followed by a Banking and Finance degree at Monash Caulfield. Now, I’m happily married with a little boy, cherishing family time. As a devoted Richmond Tigers fan, I’m all about sports—recently exploring passions for triathlons and golf.

How did you come to be part of the Pallas Capital team?

The opportunity with Pallas arose when they sought to expand into Melbourne, and I clicked instantly with Charles Mellick, paving the way for my entry into the team.

What does a typical workday look like for you at Pallas Capital?

At Pallas, each day involves staying abreast of market trends, nurturing client relationships, and delving into new business opportunities. I particularly relish the chance to connect with clients over coffees or dinner, understanding their financial motivations on a personal level.

What has been your highlight at Pallas Capital so far?

A highlight at Pallas has been hosting events, networking with remarkable individuals, and the continuous learning journey.

What aspects of Pallas Capital’s culture do you find most inspiring or unique?

Pallas Capital’s culture is marked by trust, responsibility, and the freedom to shape one’s role. I appreciate the support for professional growth, including opportunities to share insights through articles.

Looking ahead, what are your professional goals and aspirations within Pallas Capital? How do you see yourself contributing to the company’s future success?

Looking ahead, I aim to drive FUM growth, spearhead new initiatives, and contribute to Pallas’s positive culture. With the property market’s significance to the Australian economy, Pallas’s commitment to quality across its people, borrowers, and investors presents an exciting opportunity for growth.
