The newly appointed managing director will be responsible to drive growth in the region with a focus on entrepreneurs, family business and family offices.
Peter Golovsky joins IQ-EQ after most recently holding a global head of fiduciary services head and head of Asia role at an «international legal, accounting and fiduciary services firm», according to a release which did not name the company. Previously, Golovsky also had 10 years of experience in private banking with senior roles at Macquarie and Westpac.
Golovsky is a chartered accountant with 25 years of experience in the financial services industry, including eight in Hong Kong where he was working closely with «major Asian families, their family offices and their international business operations».

Golovsky’s focus in his growth strategy will be in areas of succession, governance, cross-border planning, intergenerational wealth transfer and philanthropy. Understandably, such private affairs will require a certain degree of trust – a factor that was echoed by the firm’s leadership.
«[Golovsky] is trusted by major Asian families and family offices as a key strategic adviser and has a demonstrable track record of successfully building fiduciary services businesses, both organically and through acquisition,» said IQ-EQ’s Asia executive chairman Shanker Iyer, who joined the group's head of private wealth Steve Sokić in welcoming the new hire.
IQ-EQ is a leading investor services group with capabilities that span across private equity, fund compliance, infrastructure-related legal services and multi-family office services. It has operations in 23 markets with 2,800 employees globally.
