Northern Trust has named Julie Zhu as Beijing branch manager, replacing Michael Wu, who was most recently the country executive for Greater China.
Zhu will lead Northern Trust’s asset servicing business in China and report to Angelo Calvitto, who was recently appointed head of the Asia Pacific region.
She has been with Northern Trust since 2005 working predominantly with Chinese clients, and most recently served as deputy Beijing branch manager.
She also worked as a relationship manager for 15 years prior to that appointment.
Commenting on Zhu’s appointment, Calvitto says: “We’re delighted to appoint Julie as branch manager for Beijing. She brings immense experience in fund operations, investment operations outsourcing, project management and business development to our rapidly growing Greater China business. This appointment supports our continued focus on supporting our clients in China.”
Northern Trust has a network of 11 offices across Asia Pacific, including Australia, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and South Korea.
