Earlier this month, Fred Horsey joined as co-chief operating officer & general counsel; while Christophe Morel is due to relocate from Geneva, where he is currently a part of the company’s international audit unit, to become chief risk officer for the Asia-Pacific team on 1 September.
The two executives will be Hong Kong-based and report to Vincent Duhamel, head of Lombard Odier Asia-Pacific. Both positions are new roles.
Lombard Odier has had a presence in Asia for more than 25 years, with offices in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore as well as partnerships with JBWere in Australia and KB Kookmin Bank in South Korea. However, it has recently stepped up its campaign there and, according to Duhamel, has more than doubled its presence in the region over the past two years.
