Prof. Dr Luc Henrard has held several Board and
Executive roles for Financial Institutions in Europe and in Asia.
He was formerly based in Belgium,

·
Prior to his
appointment as Chief Risk Officer and Member of the Management Board of BGL
BNP Paribas, Luc has been the CEO of Fortis Asia Pacific based in Hong Kong from January 2007 to July 2010. His mandate
was to reorganize and energize the pan-Asian Business operations. His most significant
contribution was to establish and chair the Fortis Asia Pacific Management
Board in order to achieve greater cooperation and maximize business
opportunities across Asia. During his
tenure, both top and bottom line results of Fortis Asia Pacific registered
strong improvements despite a tumultuous external environment.
After the dismantling of Fortis and the sale to BNP Paribas in the midst of

Fortis in Asia and was instrumental in the
integration process of the Business lines and Support functions of Fortis

BNP Paribas Asia Integration Steering Committee, the governing body that
managed the integration of both banks in the region.

CRO role at the Group level in November 2000 and was appointed CRO of Fortis
Bank in April 2001 and of Fortis Insurance in May 2004. He held all three
positions up to December 2006, thus being responsible for the full spectrum
of risks across bank and insurance for the Fortis Group.
· Luc
has held posts at Generale Bank as Treasurer and Chief Dealer in Japan
and as Global Head of ALM before moving to the Credit Department as Project
Director where he spearheaded the business process re-engineering of the
