T. Rowe Price, a leading global asset manager with US$1.61 trillion asset under management[1], has promoted Cassandra Crowe to Head of Asia Pacific Consultant Relations. This appointment comes as the firm continues to grow across the region, in collaboration with global investment consulting firms and research houses across its range of leading investment strategies.
Crowe, currently Sydney-based Head of Consultant Relations for Australia and New Zealand, will assume her new role from Sydney at the start of next year. In addition to her current responsibilities, she will join the Asia Pacific Distribution Leadership team and provide coverage across consultants for the Asia Pacific. Crowe is supported by Sydney-based Alycia Vassallo, who joined as Senior Consultant Relations Manager last December.
Nick Slater, Head of Global Consultant Relations at T. Rowe Price whom Crowe reports to, 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. Her expanded role is expected to further strengthen the firm’s consultant relations across the Asia Pacific region.”
Crowe is co-chair of T. Rowe Price’s regional diversity and inclusion business group that promote awareness, education, and acceptance of the broad spectrum of conditions that affect our associates. She also holds a range of industry positions as an executive founding director of the Bloomberg Women’s Buy Side Network for Australia and New Zealand and serves as co-Chair for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Society Australia Member Council.
