We are pleased to welcome Angelina Kwan, CEO of Stratford Advisory, to our Hong Kong Digital Asset Summit.
Angelina brings one of the most distinctive career profiles in Hong Kong's financial and digital asset landscape, spanning regulatory leadership, exchange operations, digital asset infrastructure, and compliance advisory across more than three decades.
She began her career at Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission, where she served as Director of Enforcement and then Director of Supervision of Markets, building and leading teams responsible for supervising the city's financial markets and developing rules and regulatory frameworks for new products and services. She served as Managing Director and Head of Group Regulatory Compliance at HKEX, where she established the exchange's Group Regulatory Compliance Department and served as its primary interface with global regulators.
She subsequently served as Global Chief Operating Officer at BitMEX and later as Group COO and Chief Risk Officer at HashKey Group, two of the most consequential digital asset institutions in Asia. Since 2019, she has led Stratford Advisory, a consulting firm specialising in regulatory and operational strategy for financial services and digital asset firms across the region. Angelina serves as Chair of The Women's Foundation and contributes to multiple Hong Kong government boards and committees, including the Financial Services Development Council.
Her participation brings a perspective grounded in both sides of digital asset market development, the regulatory architecture that governs it and the operational infrastructure required to run it to institutional standards.
