Based in Hong Kong, he will support the company in a region where it has seen unprecedented demand for data and analytics.
Financial data and analytics provider Macrobond has appointed Ian Hissey as regional managing director for Asia Pacific, the company announced on Monday.
Hissey brings a wealth of experience managing teams focused on portfolio analytics and quantitative analysis in Australia and across APAC. He joins Macrobond after 12 years at FactSet, most recently based in Tokyo, Japan, where he was responsible for the financial data and software company’s growing research business lines across the region.
Rapidly Growing Market
In his new role, Hissey will continue the expansion of Macrobond's business into Japan and South Korea. According to Macrobond, increasing demand for deep China and Asian economic data in APAC is providing the company with strong growth in Asia, the company's fastest growing market.
«We have made significant investments in acquiring data in Asia. As a result, we’ve gathered more than 100 clients across APAC and we expect that to continue to accelerate,» Hissey said in the announcement.
