Bonnie Y Chan

Bonnie Chan was appointed CEO of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) in March, becoming the first woman to lead the stock exchange operator. HKEX has struggled in recent years as Hong Kong, once the world's top IPO market, sank to 12th in the first half of 2024. Still Chan is championing the exchange between China and the rest of the world. Chan has also led HKEX's effort to eradicate all-male boards among its listed companies, the first major exchange to do so.
