She joins Man from Lazard Asset Management, where she was director, head of business development and marketing, Asia ex-Japan. She previously held roles at BlueBay Asset Management as head of sales, Asia ex-Japan, and spent in excess of five years at UBS investment bank, the investment manager said in a press release.
