Vicky Chan returns to HKEX

Hong Kong Exchange & Clearing Limited (HKEX) has appointed Vicky Chan as managing director and head of post trade, effective 5th August. She replaces Hector Lau, who is leaving the firm.

In the role, Chan will be responsible for leading the post trade team and enhancing HKEX’s clearing and settlement systems offerings. She reports to Vanessa Lau, co-chief operating officer and group chief financial officer.

Chan has three decades of industry experience and joins the firm from insurance firm AIA, where she was a senior management consultant. She has also been head of business development for Asia at 01 Communique, a Canadian remote access network software company, since 2018.

This appointment marks a return to HKEX for Chan, who spent more than 15 years with the firm before relocating to Canada. She held a number of roles during her tenure, including senior vice president for platform development, head of cash and derivatives clearing operations and head of the cash settlement team.

She began her career as a senior consultant at PwC, joining UBS in 1997 and Goldman Sachs in 1999.

On the appointment, Vanessa Lau commented: “We are very pleased to welcome Vicky back to HKEX. As a seasoned operations executive with more than 30 years’ experience, and with her solid knowledge of our clearing and settlement functions, I know Vicky will hit the ground running.

“Vicky joins at an exciting time as we continue to invest in modernising our operations capabilities – particularly with the announcement of our plans to develop the new Orion Derivatives Platform – and as we continue to take our trading and post trade operations to the next level.”
