Wolters Kluwer has appointed Rainer Fuchsluger as Managing Director of its Finance, Risk & Reporting business in the APAC region, based in Singapore. He replaces James Stewart who is leaving Wolters Kluwer after five years with the firm, returning to his native Australia for family reasons.

With 15 years of experience in financial services, Fuchsluger joins Wolters Kluwer from SS&C Technologies where he was Regional Managing Director of the Institutional and Investment Management business in Asia.

Prior to this he was Head of Real Time Services, Asia Pacific, for ICE Data Services, and, for ten years, worked at Thomson Reuters, as Head of Sales for Asia. He holds an MBA from Vienna Business School and is also member at the MIT Executive Campus of Artificial Intelligence.

At Wolters Kluwer Fuchsluger will be a member of the Finance, Risk and Reporting Executive Team and will be responsible for further building on Wolters Kluwer’s successful growth in APAC.

Under Stewart’s leadership Wolters Kluwer has extended its strong APAC presence in recent years. The APAC business has grown on the back of high-paced regulatory changes and continues to add many new clients to its large existing client base through offering integrated risk, finance and reporting solutions to meet demanding regulatory requirements.

“I am excited to be joining Wolters Kluwer – a firm well known in the region for its market leading technology across finance, risk and reporting solutions,” Fuchsluger says. “I look forward to setting the strategic agenda as the leading provider of integrated regulatory compliance and reporting solutions in Asia, working with our talented team to further increase our market share.”
