“I will Never Die Wondering”

With the courage of his convictions, Capital Syndications Founder and Managing Director Wayne Camenzuli has forged ahead in land development and real estate.

Perhaps nothing embodies Wayne Camenzuli’s attitude to business quite as much as his company’s trading name: Innova Capital. The Latin word for renewal, Innova is the motto Wayne lives his life by. In 2002, despite an incredibly successful career, Wayne would go through his own renewal, quitting his job to start the successful Capital Syndications, which would eventually give birth to Innova Capital, Estate 360 and the Nexus Business Park vision for Western Sydney.

Major projects under Wayne’s belt include the 43.5-hectare rezoning of monastery land in Campbelltown, New South Wales for 1,050 homes, a 1,200-person capacity business park, and an environmental centre.

BUILDING FROM NOTHING

Wayne has had a rather unusual, but stellar career progression. During his first eight years with KPMG, Sydney, he spent three years in traditional financial auditing before moving to management consulting, focusing on tourism, property, hospitality and strategy. From there, he went into financial services and later risk management before a stint as the head of strategy and planning for GIO.

Wayne’s next calling was general management with AMP/GIO – overseeing the second-largest car and home insurance portfolio in Australia. He took a hands-on approach, immersing himself into the product marketing and manufacturing side of the business.

Then one day, he cleared his desk and walked out the door, armed with nothing but a dream. On interviewing Wayne, that sense of purpose comes to the fore. Starting Capital Syndications from scratch meant he didn’t have it easy but that he had to dive into the deep-end to pursue his passion for property and large-scale land development.
