The Bank of Singapore (BoS) has unveiled significant leadership changes in its Hong Kong branch, marking a strategic move to reinforce its position in the region. The changes, effective from Feb 15, 2024, include the appointment of Rickie Chan as the new head of private banking, Greater China, Hong Kong branch, and the transition of Teresa Lee, the current head of Greater China, Hong Kong branch, to the role of vice-chair of Greater China.
In his new role, Chan, a veteran with over 26 years of experience in private banking, wealth management, and capital markets, will be a crucial member of the bank's management committee. Reporting directly to BoS’s CEO, Jason Moo, Chan will bring his wealth of experience from his most recent position as chief executive of the Hong Kong branch and head of Global Wealth Management, Greater China, at Credit Suisse. His leadership roles in Barclays Bank PLC and Goldman Sachs private bank in Hong Kong further underscore his expertise.
Lee, in her capacity as vice-chair of Greater China, will work closely with Chan to formulate and execute strategies aimed at expanding BoS's footprint in the Greater China region. The focus will be on deepening relationships with ultra-high net-worth individuals and families, aligning with the bank's commitment to excellence in client service.
Expressing his views on the appointments, Moo remarked: "These strategic appointments are part of the bank’s continuous efforts to bolster our bench strength to entrench our leadership in Hong Kong."
