“BlackRock is consistently ahead of the curve in terms of its vision for both the industry and the region. I am eager to leverage its global expertise and client focus to advance a strategy designed to help investors in Apac and globally,” said Ueda.
“BlackRock is known for challenging itself to think differently and I look forward to deepening the Apac investor perspectives that are at the heart of the firm’s regional offerings,” said Angara.
