|
August 2018 Edition
|
In the last few months several events have taken place in Bangkok, featured throughout this newsletter, including a memorial service at a Thai Temple, for Mr Robert Guy Thornhill, former Director of the Asia Pacific office.
The service was held on Saturday, 9 June 2018 at Wat Pathum Wanaram Temple at 9.00 am in Bangkok, Thailand. The service was attended by the Asia Pacific Office's Board of Director members as well as close friends, former colleagues, members of staff and alumni. Mr. Thornhill served as a member of the Board of Directors since the office's inception in 2006 and was Director of the Asia Pacific Office until 2012. He was a beloved and respected mentor who devoted his professional life to education.

"In November 2014 I was a recipient of the Morgan Stanley Global Excellence Award for successfully implementing a significant piece of EU regulation, ensuring the firm’s compliance to new trade settlement rules across 31 EEA markets. It is one of my proudest moments as a Project Manager having only come into the role 2 months prior to the regulation's go-live and having to quickly learn and figure out how to mitigate some really significant risks with substantial consequences, had the firm failed to be compliant."
