Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing has appointed Joseph Meyer as its first Chief Administrative Officer. He will be a member of the Senior Management Committee and report directly to the Chief Executive from late June.
 
HKEx Chief Executive Charles Li said Mr Meyer has extensive background in the financial services industry and recent experience heading up Chi-X Japan.
 
"As we approach the halfway point of our 2010-12 strategic plan, there are several major projects, including the introduction of OTC Clearing (the clearing of derivatives traded in Hong Kong’s over-the-counter, or OTC, market) and Hosting Services, major IT upgrades and the completion of our Next Generation Data Centre, that require organisation-wide co-ordination to ensure success and the least disruption to our existing operations as well as our participants and other stakeholders.” 
 
Mr Meyer has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government and East Asian Studies from Colby College in the US, and he was a Thomas J Watson Fellow after his graduation.
 
He has 30-years' experience in the financial services industry. His most recent position was Representative Director of Chi-X Japan, where he was responsible for the launch of an alternative trading system for trading listed equity securities in Japan.
 
He also has served as Chief Operating Officer of Shinsei Bank’s institutional banking division in Tokyo, Global COO for Deutsche Asset Management’s Insurance Asset Management group in New York and COO of Deutsche Securities’ equities division in Tokyo. Mr Meyer’s other experience includes roles with Morgan Stanley in Hong Kong, New York and Tokyo.
