BlackRock has named Susan Chan as head of Asia Pacific, with Andrew Landman and Hiroyuki Shimizu becoming deputies.
Chan’s predecessor, Rachel Lord, has relocated to London to become BlackRock’s head of international.
Chan will lead the Asia Pacific region and be responsible for business, client, investment and operational platforms serving wealth and institutional investors via BlackRock’s active, index, ETFs, alternatives and technology offerings.
Chan has more than three decades of experience in financial services and asset management, serving as deputy head of Asia Pacific and head of greater China at BlackRock since 2021. She currently sits on BlackRock’s Global Executive Committee.
Chan has been at the company for more than 10 years, helping to develop BlackRock’s onshore business in mainland China and leading both the trading, liquidity and lending and ETFs and index investment businesses in the APAC region.
On her appointment, Chan says: “My leadership team and I are focused on accelerating the momentum in the region to achieve the best investment outcomes for our clients. This requires a thorough understanding of their needs, along with the ability to connect them to new and differentiated investment opportunities across our entire platform.”
