Northern Trust names Head for Sydney Office

Northern Trust has announced the appointment of Sally Surgeon as head of its Sydney office, effective 1 June 2017.

Surgeon, who was most recently based in Northern Trust's Melbourne office, will retain her current responsibilities as head of client services for Australasia and continue to report directly to regional head, Madeleine Senior.

In her expanded role, Surgeon will be responsible for all aspects of Northern Trust's Sydney office, including supporting various industry, client and consultant relationships.

She joined Northern Trust's London office in 2005, before moving to the firm's Melbourne office in 2007. She has more than 20 years' experience in financial services, performing a range of client-facing roles supporting investment managers, sovereign wealth funds and insurance and superannuation funds.

Commenting on Surgeon's expanded role, Senior said: "Sally has been instrumental in growing our client base across the region and we are delighted to appoint her to lead our Sydney office where, drawing on her experience, she will focus on continuing to deepen relationships with our clients and the industry and drive momentum for our expanding business."
