Northern Trust appoints head of APAC sales
Northern Trust has appointed David I. Kim as head of sales for its corporate and institutional business across the Asia Pacific, saying that he will lead a team of sales managers across the region to continue to drive growth.
Kim comes to Northern Trust from BNY Mellon in Boston, where he was a service executive and managing director overseeing a team of US asset servicing directors.
He also brings experience working in the Asia Pacific region to the role, having spent two years in Singapore and six years in Seoul.
“We are delighted to appoint David to continue to drive the momentum of Northern Trust’s business across the region,” the company’s head of the Asia Pacific region, William Mak, said.
“We continue to see demand from institutional investors and asset managers for our bespoke, leading-edge solutions. David’s invaluable experience will ensure we remain well-positioned to best support our clients’ requirements.”
Kim succeeds Angelo Calvitto in the role, after the latter was appointed to lead Northern Trust’s business in Australasia earlier this year.
