Bell Gully appoints partner Richard Massey as AI Lead and names a Knowledge Manager to drive AI implementation

Significance: Low
Confidence: Confirmed

Why this matters

Bell Gully is buying the talent to run AI at scale. A directional signal rather than a step change.

Bell Gully appointed corporate partner Richard Massey to a new AI Lead role and named Stephanie Colling, who leads its Library and Research team, as Knowledge Manager to drive AI implementation. The firm was the first large New Zealand firm to roll out Harvey, with mandatory training and policies.

""The creation of a designated AI Lead within Bell Gully will help us continue to use AI in a way that enhances our services to clients and maintains the high quality, integrity and reliability of the advice we provide." Andrew Petersen, Managing Partner, Bell Gully"
