Lord will relocate from London to Hong Kong and her appointment is effective from May 1, subject to regulatory approval, the company said in a statement.

Lord most recently headed BlackRock’s business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and she joined the firm from Citigroup (NYSE:C) in 2013. She previously spent 13 years with Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS).

She replaces outgoing APAC Chairman Geraldine Buckingham, who announced last week that she would step down but remain with BlackRock as an advisor.
