Apex Group Ltd., a global leader in financial services, has appointed a new country head for Vietnam and launched a new office, Apex Vietnam, in Ho Chi Minh City. Tyler McElhaney will lead a team of corporate and financial services experts, highlighting the company's long-term commitment to Vietnam and the broader ASEAN region.
Licensed by the Department of Planning and Investment, Apex Vietnam will provide a full range of innovative financial services, products, and solutions, including market entry advisory, compliance and accounting, and ESG-related solutions. Apex Group has much experience within the market, having served Vitenamese corporate and private clients from offices globally. Growth has been driven by increased demand from existing and new clients for Apex Group’s single-source solution onshore in Vietnam.
Tyler McElhaney brings over 20 years of international experience, having lived in the US, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Qatar, and Vietnam. Before joining Apex Group, he served as CEO of a regulated asset management firm and was also the General Partner of a USD 1 billion impact-focused investment fund targeting infrastructure projects in Africa and Southeast Asia.
Commenting on his appointment and the launch of Apex Vietnam, Tyler McElhaney, said: “I’m delighted to be a part of Apex Group at a time when they’re driving positive change throughout the industry. The launch of Apex Vietnam shows we’re committed to the market – bringing the best in class products and services to our clients. We also can service regional and global clients locally.
“My ambitions for this role are to hire highly skilled local talent and grow technical expertise within the financial services sector. We’re also striving towards lowering the barriers to entry for our global clients and prospects, and nurturing relationships with government, NGOs, and business groups to support the country’s goals on market liberalisation and development”.
Also, commenting on McElhaney’s appointment, Valerie Mantot Groene, Apex Group’s regional head, ASEAN, says: “We welcome Tyler to Apex Group. His appointment represents a key milestone in our expansion across APAC. The Vietnamese economy is expected to grow by more than 6.5% in 2025, and we want to grow alongside the country, providing the best global practices to the local market. We look forward to Tyler leading this new team and driving execution, offering the best, innovative solutions for our clients”.
