Reporting in Asia Pacific to Shaun Parkes, Chief Executive Officer, Asia-ex Japan, J.P.

Morgan continues to lead the way in increasing revenue and mitigating risk for our clients. Kirit and his team will drive the development of innovative, integrated solutions that deliver significant value for our clients, while at the same time providing a high-level strategic advisory service that will help guide our clients through an increasingly complex financial landscape.”
