Head of Russell Investments NZ calls it a day

Van Der Maas has said, “I’ve had a great time working for Russell – But after working in the industry for 25 years, it’s just time for a break.”

He was named Russell NZ head of consulting in 2007, rising to the managing director position in 2011.

Prior to joining Russell, Van Der Maas spent nine years in the UK investment industry in roles for Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank.

Moving forward, Russell Investments NZ will split the vacant managing director duties between head of institutional, Matthew Arnold, and Australian chief, Jodie Hampshire, pending a permanent replacement.
