Spear’s Review

‘I fulfil a global role,’ Amanda Foster, co-head of Russell Reynolds’ financial services practice, tells Spear’s. ‘I tend to focus on leadership roles within private banks, wealth management and family offices.’ 

A trusted adviser to a wide spectrum of global HNWs, including chairmen, CEOs and senior executives, Foster has a wealth of experience in supporting succession planning, leadership assessment and helping clients with their corporate strategy. 

Her forte in finance comes from a decade-long career in investment banking. What she values most about her job, which sees her consult with both clients and candidates to ensure the best culture fit for a team, is ‘being involved in the dialogue around where the industry is going and the implications for talent’.
