BNP Paribas Securities Services has appointed Sam Shi as sales director, Greater China for asset owners & asset managers, as the firm continues to expand its Asian team to drive regional growth.
In this new regional role based in Hong Kong, Shi will lead the business development activities targeted at key institutional investor clients in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, working closely with the BNP Paribas teams in these countries.
Shi brings the experience of a distinguished institutional sales career, including his most recent position as sales and relationship manager at Brown Brothers Harriman in Boston and Hong Kong, where he has been for the last seven years.
“I am delighted that Sam has chosen to join BNP Paribas Securities Services,” said Elizabeth Chia, Asia head of business development for asset owners, asset managers and alternatives. “Being a mainland Chinese by origin, educated in both China and the U.S. and having worked in the mainland and Hong Kong, Sam brings the cultural fit and skills that will enable us to capture the rapidly growing Greater China flows while assisting the local sales efforts in these countries,” Elizabeth continued.
“This is another crucial step forward in our business plan for Asia as we continue to recruit the right talent for our expansion plan across the region,” added Lawrence Au, head of Asia Pacific & global executive committee member, BNP Paribas Securities Services.
