French lender Société Générale ( SocGen ) has appointed Selina Cheung as the head of equity capital markets ( ECM ) for the Asia-Pacific region, reporting regionally to Stephanie Clement de Givry, head of global banking and advisory for Asia-Pacific, and functionally to Jeff Mortara and Anvita Arora, co-heads of global ECM.
Based in Hong Kong, Cheung, the bank notes, will oversee the origination and execution of equity and equity-linked transactions, work closely with teams across Asia, the US and Europe, and the research expertise and distribution capabilities of Bernstein, a joint venture between AllianceBernstein and SocGen, to enhance client dialogue.
Cheung will play a pivotal role, the bank points out, in deepening its relationships with corporates and financial sponsors across Asia-Pacific, supporting the continued expansion of the bank’s investment banking franchise in the region.
Selina Cheung has more than 20 years of experience in capital markets. Prior to joining SocGen, she served as the head of unified global banking Asia-Pacific at UBS, where she led a team delivering business across the wealth management and investment banking divisions.
With over a decade of experience at UBS, she held various senior leadership positions, including co-head of Asia ECM and head of private financing markets. She has led a number of landmark initial public offerings, follow-on offerings and convertible bond transactions, as well as major private equity financings for Asian corporates in Hong Kong and the US.
“This appointment reflects our strong ambition to expand our investment banking franchise in Asia-Pacific and to better support our clients through every stage of their journey,” says Clement de Givry. “Cheung will play a key role in accelerating our growth, strengthening our ECM capabilities and reinforcing our position as a trusted partner to clients. Together with Bernstein’s research platform and strong presence in Asia, we are well positioned to deliver deeper insights and differentiated value to our clients.”
