Natixis has announced three key appointments to its South East Asia team as it continues to implement its 2014-2017 New Frontier growth strategy across Asia Pacific.
Francois Riahi, CEO, Corporate & Investment Banking, Asia Pacific, said the senior appointments are part of Natixis’ commitment to further enhance its offerings and expand its client base in South East Asia.
The investment bank appointed Boon Tan as head of Corporate Coverage and Client Management, South East & South Asia, and named Iris Chia, executive director, Corporate Coverage, Singapore.
Prior to taking up his current role, Tan was senior country manager, Malaysia, a position he held since joining Natixis in 2011.
