Yields Expands into APAC with Atif Khan as Regional Lead

We’re excited to welcome Atif Khan to Yields as our APAC Lead.

‍

Atif brings more than 20 years of experience in credit risk, quantitative modelling, and model risk management. He previously held senior leadership roles at Westpac Banking Corporation, where he led major regulatory transformation programs and delivered Basel III credit capital implementations end-to-end. He has also worked closely with the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) on model governance and capital frameworks.

At Yields, Atif will focus on growing our presence across the Asia-Pacific region, combining business development with deep domain expertise. With an existing customer base in Australia, we already have a strong foundation in the region. At the same time, there is clear momentum and increasing demand for more robust and scalable model risk management practices across APAC.

Yields brings a multi-governance approach that helps financial institutions manage model risk and AI systems across the full lifecycle, from development and validation to monitoring and compliance, all in one place. This integrated approach is especially relevant as institutions look to align traditional model governance with emerging AI regulations and expectations.

“Atif combines hands-on expertise with a strong understanding of regulatory expectations,” said Nicolas Metivier, Chief Revenue Manager at Yields. “He’s a great fit for Yields and for the opportunities we see in APAC, and his team spirit is a great match for the energy and collaboration that define Yields”

Atif added: “I’ve known Yields from the client side, having implemented the platform in a banking environment. What stood out to me then, and still does today, is the combination of deep expertise and the genuinely collaborative way the team works. There’s a certain DNA at Yields, a mix of technical excellence, pragmatism, and openness, that you don’t often come across.

What’s particularly exciting now is how that foundation extends into AI governance. Financial institutions are not just dealing with traditional model risk anymore, but also with the growing complexity of AI. Yields is uniquely positioned to bring those worlds together in a practical, scalable way. I’m looking forward to bringing that approach to institutions across APAC.”

With Atif on board, we’re looking forward to building on our presence in the region and supporting more institutions in strengthening their model governance.
