The Board of Museums & Galleries of NSW is pleased to announce the appointment of Danny Yap as a member of the Board.

M&G NSW Chair Ray Christison states, ‘Danny approached the organisation with a willingness to share his deep financial experience, mixed with a strong engagement with the cultural and community sectors. We are greatly looking forward to working with Danny and look forward to his contribution to the organisation’.

Danny Yap has over 20 years’ of experience in finance roles with large Australian and global organisations, including UBS, Macquarie Bank, Australian Eagle Funds Management and the Lowy Family Group. He is currently Director of Tracy Yap Realty, a family owned real estate business and also a private investment company.

Danny is a patron of the Foundation at the Art Gallery of NSW (AGNSW) and an enthusiastic collector of international contemporary art.

He also brings a strong history of community involvement, including as a Founding Director, past Board member and President of the Australian Asian Association of Bennelong (AAAB).
