Based in Singapore, she will be tasked with driving business development across Asia, identifying market and client segment opportunities, and building strategic partnerships, while working closely with regional and global teams

“Sharon brings deep regional experience, a strong understanding of the evolving needs of wealthy clients in Asia, and a client‑centric mindset focused on long‑term value creation.
