Bank of Singapore has appointed Rickie Chan as chief executive of its Hong Kong branch, the company said in a statement.
Chan (pictured) will retain his duties as head of private banking, Greater China in Hong Kong in addition to his duties as chief executive.
He succeeds former Hong Kong chief executive Cindy Wong, who will continue as an adviser until 31 May 2024 before retiring.
Chan will be responsible for risk and governance at the bank’s Hong Kong branch, and continue to drive its growth in Greater China – a key region for the bank.
Greater China is Bank of Singapore’s largest market next to Asean, according to the company.
It has expanded with over 150 hires over the last two years, and increased its assets under management by 10%.
Jason Moo, chief executive officer of Bank of Singapore said: “Rickie is an outstanding leader with a proven track record of success that inspires trust and confidence.”
“His deep knowledge of the business environment and regulatory landscape in Greater China, combined with his extensive experience, will be invaluable in driving the continued growth of our Hong Kong hub to strengthen the Bank’s position as a leading wealth manager in Asia.”
Chan joined Bank of Singapore in February this year, with over 28 years of experience in private banking, wealth management and capital markets.
Prior to joining Bank of Singapore, he was the chief executive of the Hong Kong branch and head of global wealth management, Greater China at Credit Suisse. Before that he held several senior leadership roles at Barclays and Goldman Sachs.
