ISDA Appoints New Head of Asia-Pacific Public Policy

ISDA has appointed Su Yen Chia as its new Head of Asia-Pacific Public Policy.

Ms. Chia joins ISDA from Euroclear, where she served as Alternate Chief Executive for Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Hong Kong branch) from June 2017. In this role, she played an integral part in developing policy positions and interacting with regulatory and government authorities across the Asia-Pacific region.

She joined Euroclear in February 2016, initially as Head of Strategy and Government Affairs for Asia-Pacific. Prior to that, Ms. Chia was Head of Government Relations Asia-Pacific for Barclays Bank, and began her public policy career with Credit Suisse in Singapore.

“We’re delighted to welcome Su Yen to ISDA. Her in-depth knowledge and understanding of the region and her experience in government relations across Asia-Pacific will be of huge value to ISDA and its members as we continue to advocate for appropriate, risk-sensitive and globally coordinated rule sets,” said Scott O’Malia, ISDA’s Chief Executive.

Ms. Chia will be based in Hong Kong and reports to Steven Kennedy, Global Head of Public Policy at ISDA.
