Capco has appointed James Arnett as managing partner for the Asia Pacific region, responsible for the firm’s business across Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.
Arnett will be based out of Capco’s Hong Kong office, and will relocate from London once travel restrictions are lifted.
With more than 20 years of experience in consulting, banking and technology, Arnett previously led and built out Capco’s UK finance, risk and compliance practice, most recently working as head of the UK capital markets practice.
He joined Capco in 2011 having held roles at IBM Global Business Services, Capita, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and The Co-operative Bank.
Arnett explains the region continues to be a centre for innovation and dynamism when it comes to digitalisation and transformation within financial services.
He says: “There are significant opportunities at hand around virtual banking, data, insurtech, emergent technologies including cloud and machine learning, and the enhancement of user experiences and customer journeys. I look forward to working with our Asia Pacific clients to help them re-engineer and grow their businesses.”
Lance Levy, CEO of Capco, adds: “Appointing James Arnett to lead APAC underscores Capco’s commitment to investing in the region. James has extensive experience managing global client relationships and transformation programs across the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Africa, and a successful track record in applying an entrepreneurial approach to developing fast-growth businesses.
