Lawrence Au
I have been at the forefront of Asia’s financial industry for more than 35 years since its nascent development in the 1980s. For 16 years, I was the Asia Pacific CEO of BNP Paribas Securities Services and Northern Trust and was the driving force behind establishing their businesses from the ground up to become a market leader in the region. In my final years as chief executive, I provided leadership to over 2000 staff in eight countries and 10 offices in the Asia Pacific. I have also held senior roles at J.P. Morgan, The Bank of New York, Chase Manhattan Bank and Security Pacific National Bank.
I have a wealth of experience in corporate governance and was licensed Responsible Officer to the regulatory authorities in Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Australia for a number of financial entities which were under my oversight as senior executive.
I was presented with a Life-time Achievement Award by Asia Asset Management in 2016, in addition to several other prestigious industry recognitions. Recently, I was honoured as a recipient of the 2020 Vice Chancellor Alumni Excellence Award by University of Queensland, my alma mater in Australia.
The fascinating development of Asia’s financial industry has inspired me to publish a book - “Asia's Financial Industry 1986-2016" in English and Chinese versions. It is available on Amazon and other bookstores, and also as part of the collections in a number of universities and public libraries globally.
I am passionate about sharing my experience and insight as a financial industry business leader to make a difference for your firm’s business growth in the Asia region.
