Recognising leadership, impact and momentum with our July promotions
Published: July 2, 2026

As we reach the end of the financial year, we’re pleased to recognise a new group of colleagues whose promotions reflect the impact they’re making across our business. Each promotion acknowledges consistent performance and a strong commitment to shaping better outcomes for clients and communities.
This year’s EOFY promotions also highlight the breadth of talent across the business, regardless of location or those working flexibly. The promoted group includes part‑time team members, a colleague on parental leave, and a strong gender balance across states, recognising contributions from across our multidisciplinary business. These promotions reinforce our commitment to providing growth opportunities for all employees.
A special congratulations to our new six new Directors: Sean Brosnan, Mike Zhang, Albert Au-Yeung, Samantha Stewart, Charlie Allen and Erin Brooks.
Becoming a Director at Urbis is both a professional milestone and a responsibility. Directors play a key role in setting direction, building trust with clients and creating the conditions for others to grow. They help translate strategy into action and reinforce the values that define how we work.
As I step into this new chapter, I’m excited by the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead and embrace the greater responsibility that comes with leadership.
These EOFY promotions mark an important moment for the firm. They reflect momentum, capability and a shared commitment to leadership that strengthens our culture and supports Urbis’ continued growth.
