France's Natixis has made two senior appointments in Asia further strengthening its Debt Capital Markets business in the region.
David So has been appointed Executive Director, Debt Capital Markets (DCM), Asia Pacific. Based in Singapore he will report to Raghu Narain, Head of Investment Banking, Asia Pacific, and locally to Pin Chua, Senior Country Manager, Singapore and Head of South East & South Asia.
In the new role So is responsible for DCM origination for financial institutions throughout Asia Pacific and for corporates in South East Asia, the company reported in a statement.
He has over 10 years’ DCM experience and prior to joining Natixis was Director, Debt Capital Markets, Asia Pacific, with Commerzbank in Singapore.

The Paris based firm also announced that Maureen Yu has been appointed Executive Director, DCM, Greater China. Based in Hong Kong, she also reports to Narain.
Yu will have responsibility for DCM origination in Greater China. She has over 10 years’ DCM experience, most recently from Barclays Capital in Hong Kong.
These senior appointments are thought to reflect Natixis’ renewed focus on its DCM business in Asia Pacific, including through the creation of a regional Investment Banking business line, announced in September 2016.
Earlier this month Natixis opened a Taipei branch to deepen its presence in Taiwan and further expand its offering and client base.
