First Sentier appoints deputy CEO
First Sentier Investors has appointed Yoshiki Ueno as deputy chief executive.
Ueno had worked at FSI since August 2019 as head of US governance, based in New York, and worked closely on the US consultation and reporting process with FSI’s US parent companies.
In his new role, Ueno would relocate to Sydney to support chief executive, Mark Steinberg, with the implementation of the firm’s strategy and act as a liaison to Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, where he had worked for 20 years.
He would replace Yutaka Kawakami who would return to work in a new role at FSI in Tokyo.
Steinberg said: “I look forward to working closely with Ueno-san in his new role.
"I would also like to thank Kawakami-san for his support. He joined at a pivotal time in our transition and his oversight of the project management office and its wide variety of critical transition projects, coupled with his insights into The Trust Bank and guidance on collaboration have ensured our success in creating a strong, independent asset management business and an enduring, transparent relationship with our shareholders."
