When asked about leadership style and potential management changes, Tan pointed to earlier announcements made in December 2024. At the time, Han Kwee Juan, previously DBS Singapore’s country head, was named her successor as group head of institutional banking; while Lim Him Chuan, the bank’s group head of strategy, transformation, analytics & research (GSTAR), was appointed as the new Singapore country head.
As DBS Group Holdings’ CEO Piyush Gupta prepares to hand over the reins to his successor, deputy CEO Tan Su Shan in March, he seeks to assure shareholders that the bank would be in good hands.
“As I reflect on my journey at DBS, I feel good about where the bank is and am confident it will reach further heights under Su Shan’s leadership,” he says in the bank’s results statement on Feb 10. The results briefing, covering DBS’s FY2024 and 4QFY2024 ended Dec 31, 2024 results, was held on the same day. Gupta will retire on March 28, making the Feb 10 briefing his 61st and last.
