Secondaries firm Coller Capital has opened an office in Tokyo and appointed a Japan private wealth director. Separately, shareholders of Indonesia’s tech giant GoTo have approved the appointment of Hans Patuwo as President Director and Group CEO.
Coller Capital hires private wealth head in Japan
Secondary investor Coller Capital has opened a Tokyo office and hired Hisashi Tanaka as its Head of Japan Private Wealth.
Tanaka joins Coller Capital from New York Life Investments, where he served as Head of Retail Distribution. Before this, he was with Schroders, BNP Paribas, PineBridge, and Deutsche AM.
Tanaka is joined by Keisuke Kagawa, Vice President in the Japan private wealth secondaries solutions (PWSS) team. Kagawa previously worked at StepStone Group.
The Tokyo office marks Coller Capital’s sixth location in the Asia Pacific, following Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul, Melbourne, and Singapore.
“We look forward to deepening relationships with local clients and expanding our footprint in Japan’s private wealth market, where investors increasingly seek the kind of diversification and risk mitigation that secondaries can provide,” said Pak-Seng Lai, Head of PWSS Distribution APAC, who was promoted earlier this year.
GoTo shareholders approve management transition, new CEO
GoTo’s shareholders have approved the appointment of Hans Patuwo as President Director and Group CEO, the company said in a statement.
Shareholders approved the resignations of Pablo Malay and Winato Kartono from the Board of Commissioners, and the appointments of Andre Soelistyo and Santoso Kartono to replace them. The resignation of Ade Mulyana from the Board of Directors was also approved.
These changes form part of the company’s ongoing commitment to ensuring stability, strategic continuity, and strong governance, GoTo said.
Patuwo joined Gojek, the ride-hailing predecessor of GoTo, in 2018 as Chief Operating Officer.
DealStreetAsia first reported last month that Patrick Sugito Walujo will step down as GoTo’s Group CEO and Patuwo will take the helm, following the resurfacing of the GoTo-Grab merger talks.
