The Hong Kong-based position is a new one, a Singapore-based spokeswoman for PGIM confirmed.
A PGIM news release said Ms. Jones will drive the expansion of PGIM's global intermediary business in Asia with a focus on "building out teams in Hong Kong and Singapore to support the firm's sales and distribution efforts in the region."
She will report to Kimberly LaPointe, the London-based head of PGIM Investments International.
