Apex Group, a global financial services provider, has appointed Valerie Mantot-Groene as head of Asia Pacific (APAC).
Mantot-Groene will take on the role from Maggie Chan, who led the APAC operations over the past two and a half years and delivered successful growth and expansion. Chan has now left Apex to pursue new avenues.
Joining from SANNE Group, Mantot-Groene will continue to lead the firm’s growth and performance across the APAC region.
Based in Singapore, Mantot-Groene will report directly to Srikumar T.E., the global head of funds solutions at Apex.
She brings 18 years of experience in investment management, which Apex said makes her well-positioned to lead the firm across APAC and continue to deliver its single-source message to the local market; across fund solutions, financial solutions and corporate solutions.
Srikumar T.E., commented: “Valerie Mantot-Groene’s addition to the Apex leadership team is great timing, given the expansion of our services and capabilities across a broader spectrum of financial services in the region. She is a highly experienced professional who will bring important senior leadership skills to our team in APAC.”
Mantot-Groene added: “I am very pleased to be joining Apex at this exceptional milestone within its story. The group has been on an impressive growth trajectory and the APAC region is ready to leverage the single-source capabilities the group has to offer at a local level which provides a really unique solution for local clients.”
The appointment follows closely on from Apex’s announcement to expand its corporate solutions offering in APAC through obtaining a Trust and Corporate Services licence in Hong Kong.
