NAPIER STRENGTHENS FOOTHOLD IN APAC VIA NEW OFFICE, SENIOR LEADERSHIP APPOINTMENTS

KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 (Bernama) -- Napier, provider of next-generation anti-financial crime compliance solutions, has continued its aggressive global expansion by opening a second APAC office within 10 months.

Adding a Kuala Lumpur presence to the Singapore base established last year, the London-headquartered company also announces senior leadership appointments to further strengthen its foothold in APAC.

According to a statement, Wall Street and Silicon Valley alumni, Robin Lee takes over as Head of APAC while Hwee Kun Ho, formerly of Salesforce, Refinitiv and Dow Jones, steps in as APAC Head of Sales.

Napier, which works with financial organisations worldwide to provide an AI-led platform for intelligent AML & trade compliance, doubled its annual revenue last year, adding a significant number of new clients to its platform globally. 

It continues to grow an impressive roster of clients in APAC, recently announcing significant deals with Australia Post and a number of other major financial institutions.

Napier was also recently recognised with a prestigious award win for Best AML/CTF Solution in the Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence 2020.

Napier also has presence in the UK, USA, Australia and Dubai. It aims to continue its growth in 2021 and recently appointed former HSBC Group COO and BCG Global Banking Chair, Andy Maguire, to its Advisory Board.
