New APAC head for CFA Institute
The CFA Institute has appointed former Royal Bank of Scotland Coutts division chief executive, Nick Pollard, as managing director of the CFA Institute Asia Pacific.
Announcing the appointment, the institute said Pollard will be based in Hong Kong and support the CFA Institute across the APAC region as it seeks to pursue growth in the region, particularly in China and India.
CFAP Institute president, Paul Smith, said that as the institute continued to deepen its impact throughout APAC, it needed strong leadership to help advance the investment profession in some of its most critical markets.
"Nick Pollard brings a unique combination of management, strategy, marketing and professional development skills to this key role, and we look forward to leveraging his background and expertise to manage our growth in this very dynamic region," he said.
Pollard previously served as chief executive of The Royal Bank of Scotland's Coutts Asia Division, and most recently was Head of International Learning and Professional Development for Coutts International.
