Mastercard Asia-Pacific Executive to Take Broader International Portfolio

What’s new: Ling Hai, a co-president of the Asia Pacific region of Mastercard Inc., will lead international markets for the American multinational financial services company as a co-president next year. The move is part of a series of leadership changes to realign the firm’s international operations.

In this new role, Ling will “advance business strategy, sales, business development, product management and engagements with customers and regulators across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America” alongside Raghu Malhotra, now president of Mastercard Middle East and Africa, the company said in an announcement last week.
