The firm said it was very serious in its ambition to become one of the "premier investment management firms in the region", which it will target by strengthening distribution, developing its Asian equity capabilities and building innovative product solutions for both local and global clients.
Her official title is head of strategy & development, product & marketing for investment management in A-Pac.
