Andrew Russell

Non-Executive Director

My career has focussed on helping organisations improve, grow and prosper, especially in financial services. I also have a strong interest in sustainability, and in the intersection of sustainability and investing.

As Director, my role is to provide an external source of challenge and advice, helping ensure the regulators are satisfied, the company and its shareholders and employees are excited, and the clients are delighted.

I interact with potential and current clients to gauge their interests and satisfaction and act as an impartial conduit for their criticisms and praise.

Outside of work

Like much of our client base, I’m an international expat. I grew up in Canada, to British parents, and have worked overseas for the last 20 years in the USA, Europe, Middle East and Asia. My wife and I live in Hong Kong but travel extensively.

I enjoy sailing, rowing, swimming and SCUBA diving.
