Former itBit client group director Antony Lewis has officially joined banking consortium R3.
Notably, the move comes amid a larger bid by R3 to bolster its presence in Asia amid an uptick in interest from enterprise firms.
In recent months, R3 has seen Asia-based firms including Ping An and life insurance firm AIA announce they had joined as paying members.
