The newly elected appointees to GAP’s Board are Robert W. McMillen (UAE), as Chairman, John O’ Shea (USA) will join the Board as Director, Kenneth Lam (Hong Kong) and Chaipatr Srivisarvacha (Thailand) were elected joint Vice Chairmen.

Outgoing Chairman, Toyoharu Tsutsui (Tokyo-based) and former Vice Chairman, Bernard Pouliot (Hong Kong-based), will both remain on the board as Vice Chairman (Hong Kong-based) and Executive Director, respectively.

Commenting on the contributions of the retiring Board members, Mr. McMillen said “We were extremely fortunate to have been guided through the last two turbulent years by experienced mentors such as Mr. Toyoharu and Mr. Pouliot. Under their guidance, we added partners in Africa, India, the United Kingdom, and more recently, Mongolia, to our membership list and have vastly improved our internal and external communication skills.”

“I am delighted that both will continue to work with the board to further expand our very successful business model,” he added.

GAP has been designed to provide its mutual clients with a truly international platform to conduct their equity, quasi-equity, cross-border M&A, brokerage, asset management, wealth advisory and research services.
