John Williamson, an accountant who is the managing director and chief financial officer of Search Investment Group, is seeking re-election to the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing board.
He was appointed to the board in May last year to fill the seat vacated by shareholder activist David Webb.
He believes his accounting background and financial services experience will help him make a useful contribution to the exchange's affairs.
Why are you seeking re-election to the HKEx board?
I believe my industry experience and training as a chartered accountant puts me in a strong position to contribute to the HKEx board. If I am re-elected, I will continue to act independently in advocating balanced attention to the interests of all stakeholders.
What do you think the exchange should do to cope with the current financial crisis?
