Sandy Cavanaugh, 61, will retire from Russell on June 30. She currently serves as CEO of private client services in North America. There's no word yet on who will fill Cavanaugh's shoes.

"Until this time, she will continue leading the U.S. retail business, while working closely with CEO Len Brennan and the U.S. PCS executive team to ensure a smooth transition as we select and name her successor," Russell spokeswoman Blair Lowman tells MFWire. "We will select and name a successor as soon as possible. Both internal and external candidates will be considered."

Cavanugh reports directly to Brennan.

Cavanaugh joined Russell six years ago as managing director of private client services. An alumnus of Fresno State, she previously held top distribution jobs at SunTrust and at WaMu's mutual fund business.
