Alleato has launched as an integrated capital markets advisory firm, bringing together senior practitioners across core disciplines under a single operating model.
With a team of 35 people across offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, the firm also has more than 30 active client mandates across investor relations, strategic communications, and brand and design. Plans for an APAC expansion, including Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong, is planned for FY27, through a mix of organic growth and acquisition.
Alleato said it was built to challenge the existing consulting model where companies often rely on siloed specialists to manage critical stakeholder moments, each working with only part of the available data, context, and market intelligence.
The firm's model organises every relevant discipline - shareholder engagement, strategic investor relations, research and intelligence, strategic communications, governance and board advisory, and brand and design - around events that concentrate enterprise value risk. Alleato's foundational team incorporates specialist expertise across these disciplines in AGM seasons, results cycles, activist accumulation, hostile approaches, IPO readiness, CEO transitions, crisis events, and mandatory ESG disclosure.
Senior practitioners lead every engagement directly, with counsel supported by intelligence infrastructure that aggregates shareholder data, beneficial ownership mapping, activist early-warning signals, and investor sentiment.
Christian Sealey, Chief Executive Officer of Alleato, said the firm was launching into a dynamic and changing market environment.
"Companies are dealing with complex risk and operating environments, increasingly unpredictable market reactions, and a widening disconnect in how businesses are valued. It’s not possible to get ahead of these challenges by taking a siloed approach to problem-solving," he said.
"We saw the opportunity to build something that could deliver quality advice at speed and do it in a way that has the full picture.
"We've worked across hundreds of transactions, contested campaigns, governance challenges and reputational crises. The lesson is always the same. When your advisory team isn’t working with the same intelligence or toward the same outcome, no-one is accountable for the result, and the enterprise value suffers. Alleato resolves that."
Alleato's founding team includes Christian Sealey as Chief Executive Officer, Sean Langdon as Chief Operating Officer, and Scott Jenson as Chief Growth Officer, alongside Maria Leftakis, Vas Kolesnikoff, Rebecca Wilson, and Luisa Megale as Strategic Advisers.
