Gresham Expands Presence in Asia-Pacific Market with the Appointment of Hayley Zhu
Gresham, a leading provider of modern enterprise data management and automation solutions, has announced the appointment of Hayley Zhu as Sales Director for Asia-Pacific (APAC). This strategic move comes as the company positions itself to capitalize on the growing demand for data integrity in the APAC market.
The APAC region presents a strategic growth opportunity for Gresham, with regulatory frameworks such as MAS 610/1003 and APRA CPS 230 / CPS 235 accelerating the shift towards robust data governance and end-to-end control. Deeper regional integration, the emergence of new asset classes, and fiscal consolidation policies continue to drive change in the APAC market, making the demand for efficient, scalable, and automated data management solutions increasingly crucial.
Gresham offers a suite of solutions tailored to the financial services industry, including Prime EDM (Enterprise Data Management) and Control Cloud. These solutions help institutions manage complex reconciliations, controls, and data quality challenges at scale, enabling operational resilience and business agility. Gresham's solutions provide end-to-end automation and real-time data controls, boosting operational efficiency and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Financial institutions in APAC face rising regulatory demands, an uncertain trading environment, and subdued domestic consumption. Many organizations in the region operate with outdated data management infrastructure that limits scalability, innovation, and the ability to adopt AI and cloud technologies. Gresham's solutions address these challenges, offering scalable, automated data management and control tools that support compliance, improve transparency, and help firms adapt to fast-evolving market and regulatory environments.
Hayley Zhu, with over 20 years of experience, including more than 15 years focused on FinTech, is well positioned to lead Gresham's next phase of growth and client engagement in the APAC region. Her background includes experience with buy- and sell-side platforms, enterprise data, and regulatory technologies. Hayley Zhu is honoured to join Gresham at a transformative juncture for the APAC region and believes that institutions require real-time control, transparency, and trust in their operations.
Gresham has a strong client base in the APAC region, including Standard Chartered, Green Link Digital Bank, ANZ, and Treasury Corporation of Victoria. With Hayley Zhu at the helm, the company aims to deepen existing partnerships, expand their footprint in key markets, and support financial services firms in emerging sectors where demand for data integrity is growing.
By addressing the shortage of specialized skills in financial data management, offering automated solutions that reduce reliance on manual processing and lower operational costs, Gresham is poised to play a pivotal role in the APAC market's digital transformation. The appointment of Hayley Zhu is at a pivotal time for the industry in APAC, signalling Gresham's commitment to helping financial institutions navigate the complexities of the region's rapidly evolving market and regulatory landscape.
