In his new job, Cummins reports to CFSGAM chief executive Mark Lazberger and will lead the development and execution of all major business critical projects within the CFSGAM and First State Investments businesses.
"Andrew is an extremely experienced and talented professional with a very strong project management and operations background," Lazberger said.
"We are pleased to have been able to attract Andrew to our organisation where his experience and capabilities will make a significant contribution to our businesses."
Cummins starts in his new role on 28 June.
