Woodbridge Capital continues expansion, strengthening investment team with two senior appointments

Melbourne, 16 April 2026: Woodbridge Capital has continued its national expansion with the appointment of two senior investment professionals, further strengthening its in-house loan management capability as the firm scales its growing private credit platform.

The appointments of Terence Lapsanas as Investment Director and Curtis Tsang as Associate Director, Investments, reflect Woodbridge’s ongoing investment in active loan management – a core pillar of its differentiated approach to private credit.

The hires follow a period of significant growth for the firm, including the recent opening of its Sydney office and expansion into Queensland, as Woodbridge continues to build a national platform defined by transparency, disciplined lending, and hands-on portfolio oversight.

Both Lapsanas and Tsang join from Deloitte, bringing deep experience in financial analysis, credit assessment, and complex transaction management. Their addition enhances Woodbridge’s ability to actively manage its loan book at scale while maintaining the high standards that underpin its track record.

Unlike many participants in the private credit market, Woodbridge actively manages every loan in its portfolio – maintaining close, constructive relationships with borrowers throughout the life of each facility. This approach enables early identification of risks, faster decision-making, and proactive problem solving to protect investor capital and deliver consistent performance.

Matthew Samuels, Executive Director of Woodbridge Capital, said the appointments reinforce the firm’s commitment to best practice in private credit.

“Active loan management is not something we talk about, it’s something we do every day,” he said. “As we continue to grow nationally, it’s critical that we scale our investment team in a way that preserves the discipline, transparency, and rigour that define our approach.

“Private credit is evolving rapidly, and with that comes a responsibility to lead by example. For Woodbridge, that means setting the benchmark for transparency, governance, and hands-on asset management across every loan in our portfolio.”

Samuels said the firm’s investment in capability is central to maintaining alignment with investors and borrowers alike.

“Our model is built on clarity and accountability – investors can see how capital is deployed and managed, and borrowers know they have a partner who is engaged throughout the life of a project. Terence and Curtis bring the expertise and mindset that support this philosophy.

“We view the recent ASIC review as not a finish line, but the starting point for the evolution of private credit. We’re committed to having the right people in place to ensure we deliver beyond expectations for our investors, and the brokers and developers we support. Private credit is growing as an asset class, and we want to lead the charge on transparency and good stewardship of capital.”

Terence Lapsanas, Investment Director, said he was drawn to Woodbridge’s disciplined and transparent approach to lending.

“Woodbridge stands out in the market for its genuine commitment to active management and open communication,” he said. “The opportunity to work within a team that prioritises both strong credit outcomes and long-term borrower relationships is incredibly compelling.”

Curtis Tsang, Associate Director, Investments, added that the firm’s hands-on model positions it strongly in the current market environment.

“In today’s market, rigorous loan management and early risk identification are more important than ever,” he said. “Woodbridge’s approach ensures that issues are addressed proactively, not reactively – which ultimately delivers better outcomes for all stakeholders.”

The expansion of the investment team positions Woodbridge to support its growing loan book while continuing to lead the market in transparency, governance, and performance – setting a new standard for best practice in private credit.
