The firm has named the figure as global fiduciary head as well as its Asia chief, and is preparing a new Hong Kong office.

Cone Marshall, the legal, accounting and fiduciary services firm, has named senior industry figure Peter Golovsky to a top Asia and global role.

Golovsky becomes global head of fiduciary services and Asia head at the group, it said. He is responsible for growth across a number or regions, as well as the task of creating the CM office in Hong Kong. Previously, he worked at Amicorp in Hong Kong, where he led its global Institutional Sales business for more than six years. Prior to this, he spent 10 years in private banking at Macquarie Group and Westpac, and previously was with Andersen for 10 years in Australia and the US, in roles across private clients, risk management, corporate governance and audit.

The role means Golovsky is based in Hong Kong and he reports to Geoffrey Cone, founder and CEO of the group.

“Opening up the Hong Kong office and hub in Asia, is seen as integral part of the growth strategy for the group with a focus on supporting Asian and PRC families and their connectedness with Americas and Europe, and builds on the existing platform that has already been developed across Asia, by Karen Marshall,” Golovsky said. The business was founded 20 years ago; it has offices in Auckland, New Zealand, Geneva, Switzerland, Montevideo, Uruguay, New York and Jackson, Wyoming, and Hong Kong.<
