Biography

Alejandro Nicolas Aguzin (nicknamed Gucho; Chinese: 歐冠昇; born 1968) is an Argentinian banker. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Exchange and Clearing Limited (HKEX). Prior to this, he was the Chief Executive Officer of International Private Bank at J.P Morgan Chase.

Early life

Aguzin was born circa 1968 in Formosa, Argentina. He attended St. George's College, Quilmes since 10 years old. He moved to the United States to attend the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania where he received a bachelor degree in Economics.

Career

Aguzin joined J.P Morgan Chase in 1990 in Buenos Aires as a financial analyst. Between 1990 and 2005, he held a variety of roles in New York and Buenos Aires including Head of the Investment Banking Division in Latin America. In 2005 he was appointed as CEO of Latin America.

On 9 February 2021 HKEX announced that it had appointed Aguzin as chief executive officer, effective 24 May 2021 for a term of three years, until 23 May 2024. The appointment of a non-Chinese person as CEO of HKEX was reportedly unexpected by market observers, who noted Aguzin will have to balance the demands of authorities in Beijing with those of Hong Kong's trading community.
