Macquarie Group and Macquarie Bank have also announced that Gordon Cairns will step down from both boards on 7 May 2021, after more than six years on the boards.

The asset manager has announced that Ben Way will become group head and join the executive committee.

Mr Way, who has been with Macquarie for 14 years and is a member of Macquarie’s management committee, currently leads the global alternatives division in Macquarie Asset Management and is also Macquarie Group’s Asia CEO.

Mr Way will continue to be based in Hong Kong.
