Former stock broker and founding Euroz managing director Shane Gherbaz passed away in August 2016 after a battle with illness.
The 56-year-old established Euroz in 2000 through a reverse takeover of Treloar Group which was intended as a technology play in financial services at the heights of the dot.com boom but switched strategy to one that best resembles the Euroz of today recruiting a high-powered broking team led by Jay Hughes, Peter Diamond and Andrew McKenzie from what was then Paterson Ord Minnett.
Although Mr Gherbaz was himself a broker, and a very keen exponent of research based on charting, he took a more administrative role with the relaunched group. He remained on the board of the listed company until 2005 and was a director of subsidiary Euroz Securities until 2007. During this time he also served a three-year term as president of Down Syndrome WA. Mr Gherbaz was also a keen hockey player.
