T. Rowe Price promotes ANZ consultant head to APAC role
T. Rowe Price has promoted Cassandra Crowe to head of Asia Pacific consultant relations, and will take up her role in Sydney at the beginning of 2025.
Crowe currently serves as the head of consultant relations for Australia and New Zealand, and is co-chair of T. Rowe Price’s regional diversity and inclusion business group.
T. Rowe Price confirmed that Crowe will also be joining the APAC distribution leadership team and providing coverage across consultants for the region, reporting to head of global consultant relations Nick Slater.
Crowe holds a range of industry positions as an executive founding director of the Bloomberg Women’s Buy-Side Network for Australia and New Zealand, alongside being co-chair for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Society Australia Member Council.
According to the asset manager, the appointment comes as the firm continues to grow across the region and collaborate with global investment consulting firms and research houses.
Slater, commented on the promotion: “Cassie has been instrumental in leading T. Rowe Price’s engagement with investment consultants and research houses in Australia and New Zealand over the past five years.
“Under her leadership, we have continued to enhance our relationships with consultants and research houses in the region, resulting in new buy ratings and expanded opportunities across our institutional and intermediary channels.”
Slater explained that Crowe’s expanded role is expected to further strengthen the firm’s consultant relations across APAC.
She will also be supported by Sydney-based Alycia Vassallo, who joined as the senior consultant relations manager last December.
Earlier this year T. Rowe Price announced that financial services veteran Tim Chamberlain would be promoted to APAC chief operating officer to support growth in the region.
Having served the company as a general manager of its chief data office since April 2023, Chamberlain now provides oversight and management of the firm’s APAC offices and their operations to support continued business growth.
