FSI announces inaugural chief commercial officer

Effective 1 January, Harry Moore, currently the global head of distribution, marketing and communications, will serve as chief commercial officer.
He will be responsible for collaborating with all of FSI’s investment teams to advance their growth plans. He will oversee responsible investment, product management, investments business management, and FSI’s branded investment teams based in Australia and Asia.
Moore has been with First Sentier Investors for nearly 15 years. He joined the firm in 2010, then known as Colonial First State Global Asset Management, as a senior institutional relationship manager and later relocated to London in 2020 to lead FSI’s global distribution.
Prior to this, he spent six years at Russell Investments as a consultant in the institutions and governments team, and has worked as a client adviser and analyst at UBS Wealth Management Australia and Johnson Taylor Potter.
FSI also announced the promotion of Lauren Prendiville to global head of distribution and marketing.
Prendiville has been with the firm for a decade and has served as the regional managing director and head of distribution for APAC since 2021.
She was previously the director of institutional business development at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, where she worked in both London and Singapore, and has held roles at Morgan Stanley Investment Management and Investec Asset Management.
Both Moore and Prendiville will continue to report to FSI chief executive, Mark Steinberg, and will be members of the First Sentier Investors executive committee.
“Harry’s extensive experience in business development and client service, combined with his deep understanding of the investment landscape, makes him an excellent fit for this role,” said Steinberg.
“Lauren’s comprehensive experience, both prior to and within First Sentier Investors, positions her exceptionally well to understand and meet our clients’ evolving needs.
“We look forward to their leadership in driving our strategic initiatives and enhancing our commitment to delivering value to our clients.”
