Russell Beasley has been promoted to executive general manager of corporate trustee services for Australia. Mr Beasley joined Equity Trustees in 2005 and took over leadership of the Australian fund services business in May 2019.
“Russell has more than four decades of experience in the Australian market, strong client relationships and significant expertise across the complex range of operational responsibilities required for an outstanding responsible entity business,” said managing director Mick O'Brien.
