1500 banking bean counters wanted for Ernst & Young’s new Financial Services Organisation

It’s billed as the first such centre in the region and will be spearheaded by Keith Pogson.

Ernst & Young will launch a newly-integrated Asia-Pacific Financial Services Organization with effect from 1 July 2011. The first of its kind in the region, the Asia-Pacific FSO will enable Ernst & Young people to work seamlessly across borders to provide improved service to financial services clients.

The integration brings together 2,500 of Ernst & Young's existing financial services professionals in the region to focus on three sectors – banking and capital markets, asset management and insurance in major and fast growing financial centers including Singapore, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Australia, Korea and Vietnam. Asia-Pacific FSO links seamlessly with Americas, EMEIA and Japan FSOs. And with strong growth ambitions, the FSO is expected to generate more than 1,500 new permanent jobs in the region over the next five years.

Louis Pagnutti, Ernst & Young's Asia-Pacific Area Managing Partner, says: "By providing our Asia-Pacific financial services clients with multi-disciplinary teams from around the world we can deliver more global perspectives, experiences, people and services. Asia-Pacific FSO demonstrates Ernst & Young’s commitment to being the most globally-integrated professional services organization."

Keith Pogson is appointed as Ernst & Young’s Asia-Pacific Financial Services Leader.

Pogson says: "Our Asia-Pacific FSO brings together our geographic, service, sector and regulatory strengths in financial services. It enables us to better serve our clients through a structure that reflects the way our clients do business seamlessly across borders. We are able to deliver more connected, speedy, seamless and high quality client services in Asia-Pacific and globally.”

Asia-Pacific FSO will provide our professionals with even more diverse career opportunities working and teaming with a broader range of people in different locations with different cultures. We also provide tailored world-class training and learning which allow them to become outstanding financial services industry specialists in the market.

Pogson concludes: "Our integrated organization across Asia-Pacific is a key differentiator in the marketplace. Our clients tell us that the multi-disciplinary, cross-border approach is delivering real value and enabling them to quickly make informed and commercially astute decisions. We will continue to be connected, responsive and insightful to provide unmatched client services."

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
