"The treasury and finance profession is rapidly transforming, and nowhere more 
so than in Asia," said Soriano. "Whether treasury and finance professionals are 
interested in transitioning from accounting to financial planning and analysis, 
improving their regional treasury centre, or learning new forecasting 
techniques, AFP has a training solution that meets their needs. Opening an 
office in Singapore will help us better serve the profession in this region."

Soriano holds an MBA from Johns Hopkins University and has worked at AFP for 
more than 14 years in a variety of roles. As AFP's Regional Director, APAC, 
Soriano will oversee operations, build customer relationships and develop 
partnerships within the region. Soriano also will hire and lead a team of 
sales, services and support staff. 

"Asia is experiencing a paradigm shift in treasury and finance, and AFP is 
going to be a part of that evolution," said Jim Kaitz, president and chief 
executive officer of AFP. "As organizations seek to upskill their finance 
departments, they can look to AFP's dual certifications to help them achieve 
that goal. And our new office in Singapore will give APAC financial 
professionals the opportunity to see firsthand how AFP can help them on their 
road to success."
