Chang crosses to ABN

The former Inter-American Development Bank CFO has relocated from Washington D.C. for the Beijing-based role.

After over six years with the infrastructure investment bank, Cross will take up a senior leadership role at another institution outside of Asia.

Cross was most recently chief financial officer at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in Beijing.

Natixis CIB's Asia Pacific & Middle East CEO discusses why data centres and AI are driving the region's next investment cycle, how geopolitical shifts are redrawing capital flows between Asia and the Middle East, and why banks will need new financing structures to support the scale of infrastructure investment ahead.

Banks and payment giants at the Singapore FinTech Festival warned about deepfakes, cyberattacks, and AI-driven fraud even as they push aggressively into agentic AI and design their firms around AI-native operating models. With risks rising, leaders said 2026 will force a balance between ambition and safeguards.

Chang, who joined ANZ in 2012, will relocate from Singapore to Shanghai, and will start the role on November 18.
