This appointment follows the previously announced departure of Solmaz Altin, who is returning to Europe.

Based in Singapore, Mittal will also report to Wadhwani and join the Group Executive Committee.

He succeeds Bill Maldonado, who is retiring and returning to the UK. Maldonado will remain an advisor until the end of September and continue as a board member of ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Limited.

Mittal brings over three decades of experience in asset management across Asia and Europe. He was most recently managing director and head of Asia at Fidelity International.

He also held senior roles at AIG and PineBridge Investments, including CEO positions in both Europe and Asia Pacific.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
