A small bench, by design.
A concentrated partnership. Every client is known by name to every member of the firm.
Airlie
Director at Solara Global Partners, where she leads client relationships and oversees the firm's day-to-day operations. Airlie brings a commercial, client-first approach to private capital and works closely with principals, family offices and introducers throughout the deal lifecycle — from initial engagement through to settlement. Her focus is on clear communication, disciplined execution and ensuring every client receives the standard of service Solara is built on.
John
John is focused on commercial, development and private credit facilities. John works closely with boutique developers, founders and family offices to structure and arrange capital across Australia and Internationally. His focus is on practical, well-structured outcomes — matching the right capital to the right project and guiding clients through every stage of the transaction with clear communication and disciplined execution.
Known, not handled.
We run Solara as a partnership of principals rather than a hierarchy of salespeople. There is no account-management layer between you and the person leading your mandate. Your file lives with a principal from first call to final settlement — and the other principals know it too.
That model sets our upper limit. We take on a concentrated book of clients each year and work it properly. It’s how private banking was meant to work before it was industrialised, and how family-office advice should work at any scale.
Our bench
