ACSA ANNOUNCES TRANSITION OF ROBERT J BROWN AS CEO

Sydney, AUSTRALIA - The Board of the Australian Custodial Services Association (ACSA) has announced the transition of Chief Executive Officer Mr Robert J Brown. 

Mr Brown has been ACSA CEO since 2017. ACSA Chair, Ms Sally Surgeon is overseeing a transition process that is planned for completion by September to allow a hand-over from Mr Brown to the successful candidate.  

“On behalf of the ACSA Board and our Members I want to thank Rob for his advocacy, leadership and contribution to the Association over the past four years”.  

“Rob led the organisation through a major transformation of operating model, put in place key management disciplines and fostered a high standard for engagement within the member base and external stakeholders. We wish him all the best for his future endeavours,” Ms Surgeon said. 

Mr Brown said he was proud of his contribution and believes that ACSA is in a strong position to continue its role as the voice of the custody and investment administration sector.    

“ACSA does an amazing job through our voluntary working groups in promoting systemic efficiency improvement on behalf of members and their clients. While not grabbing the headlines, the Association makes an important contribution to the machinery of the financial services sector, including superannuation and managed funds,” Mr Brown said.  

ACSA members provide custody services that safeguard assets along with investment administration, accounting and taxation books of record.  This data underpins accurate unit prices, financial reporting, performance and risk analysis for Australia’s largest institutions.  

Mr Brown is leaving to pursue private business interests. He plans to retain a connection with ACSA and the industry.
