Apex has appointed Frederick Shaw as country head of the US.
He will be responsible for helping clients to access digital banking, depositary, fundraising services, and ESG ratings and advisory solutions.
Shaw will work closely with Apex’s regional leadership team, including recently appointed group president Samir Pandiri, chief innovation officer and regional managing director of the Americas Georges Archibald as well as Elaine Chim, global head of closed-ended products.
Shaw has more than two decades of experience in the financial services industry. He joins Apex from private markets investor Hamilton Lane where he held the roles of chief risk officer and global head of operations.
Prior to joining Hamilton Lane in 2011, Shaw held senior compliance and operational roles in international banks and alternative asset management.
Apex has recently completed the acquisition of Greenhough Consulting Group to bolster its corporate and business services offering for funds and corporates.
Commenting on his new role, Shaw says: “Apex has successfully disrupted the US market, as an independent provider of a compelling single-source solution which supports the entire value chain of a business. I look forward to playing a part in the business’ continued success, by leveraging Apex Group’s technology and solutions to better address the priorities of our clients.”
Archibald adds: “[Fred’s] extensive buy-side experience will provide valuable insights into the requirements of our current and future clients and enable us to further enhance their operational efficiency and performance. Fred shares our commitment to maintaining regulatory standards while embracing new ideas and approaches as we evolve to become the service provider of the future.”
