DBS’s Han Kwee Juan’s background in computer science makes him the man of the moment when it comes to melding AI and banking

Majoring in accounting, business administration, or economics would be the obvious choice for any aspiring banker. That, however, wasn’t the path taken by DBS’s (SGX:D05) group executive and group head of institutional banking, Han Kwee Juan. Han studied computer science at the National University of Singapore before starting his career at Citibank.
