Hong Kong Exchange and Clearing (HKEX) has appointed Vicky Chan as managing director, head of post trade.
Chan will join the group on 5 August, reporting to Vanessa Lau, HKEX co-chief operating officer and group chief financial officer.
In her new role, Chan will be responsible for leading the post trade team to elevate HKEX’s service offering across its clearing and settlement systems.
She succeeds Hector Lau, head of clearing and depository, who has decided to explore opportunities outside the group after seven years at HKEX.
Chan rejoins the group after previously spending 15 years with HKEX in various teams, including cash settlement, clearing operations, and platform development. She departed from the group in 2017 to relocate to Canada with her family.
In her previous role as senior vice president of platform development, Chan worked directly for the Group COO on the Next Generation Clearing Platform Program, led the process automation project to improve customer experience, and conducted feasibility studies on topics including blockchain and big data.
More recently, she served as an advisor at several Canadian and international companies, leading projects in areas including blockchain solutions and the development of operations platforms and processes for corporations.
During her career, Chan has held roles with companies including AIA Group, Goldman Sachs, UBS, and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
Commenting on Chan’s rejoining, Lau says: “We are very pleased to welcome Vicky back to HKEX. As a seasoned operations executive with more than 30 years’ experience, and with her solid knowledge of our clearing and settlement functions, I know Vicky will hit the ground running.
“Vicky joins at an exciting time as we continue to invest in modernising our operations capabilities – particularly with the announcement of our plans to develop the new Orion Derivatives Platform – and as we continue to take our trading and post-trade operations to the next level.”
