Broadridge has appointed Ian Strudwick as general manager and head of Asia Pacific (APAC).
Based in Singapore, Strudwick will report to Samir Pandiri, president of Broadridge International.
In his new role, Strudwick will lead Broadridge’s expansion strategies in Asia, and will be responsible for driving sustained growth of the firm in its key APAC markets of Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and Japan.
In addition, he will have ownership of Broadridge’s strategy and business development, implementation and execution in the region.
Strudwick brings 23 years of experience in the financial services and technology sector, with 16 years spent in leadership roles for global and regional teams across capital markets, trade finance and business services.
He joins from TD Securities, where he was most recently managing director and head of global operations and business services for APAC.
His appointment comes as part of Broadridge’s strategy to capitalise on opportunities the firm sees for strong business growth in the post-pandemic recovery and beyond and demonstrates its continued commitment to the region.
Pandiri comments: “Ian Strudwick joins at a transformational time for our clients in the region. They will benefit from his deep cross-market industry expertise, as Broadridge supports them in the adoption and application of next-generation technologies.”
“We are delighted to have him on board as we continue our organic and acquisitive growth path both in Asia and globally,” explains Pandiri.
Meanwhile, Strudwick adds: “I am excited to build on the customer-centric culture and lead the high-quality teams in Asia to help clients meet the moment by optimising operations and unlocking growth through Broadridge’s leading industry solutions.”
Strudwick’s appointment builds on the recent joining of David Ingleson as chief operating officer for APAC earlier this year, further enhancing the APAC leadership bench as Broadridge continues to support APAC clients to grow their operations.
Elsewhere, Northern Trust has also made a new appointment for head of APAC within its asset servicing business.
