Bio

I was appointed Group Chief Executive Officer of OCBC Bank on 15 April 2021. I joined the bank in February 2020 as Deputy President and Head of Global Wholesale Banking. I have more than 36 years of banking experience, having started out as a Management Trainee in OCBC Bank and was its first China Desk Manager, based at the Hong Kong Branch. I have vast experience in Greater China, covering a wide range of roles in capital markets, syndicated finance and corporate banking. Before returning to OCBC Bank, I spent 27 years at HSBC, where my last role was as its Chief Executive for Greater China from 2015. Before that, I was President and CEO of HSBC China based in Shanghai in 2010, and was promoted to Group General Manager in 2011 in recognition of my responsibility for the business operations and strategic expansion in China.
