StanChart HK CEO to retire

Mary Huen will succeed May Tan as the new Hong Kong CEO, while three other appointments have been made.

Tan is retiring after 32 years of service in the financial industry, according to a statement from the bank. She has been with the bank since 2009, and became the Hong Kong CEO in July 2014.

Huen has been serving as the regional head of retail banking for Greater China and North Asia.

Her role will be filled by Samir Subberwal, who is now the head of retail banking in Hong Kong.

John Tan, now the bank’s Taiwan CEO, will become the head of financial markets for both Greater China and North Asia, to include Hong Kong.

“With his expertise in renminbi and deep understanding of the financial markets in the region, he is ideally suited to lead the business to capture the immense opportunities arising from China’s opening,” said Benjamin Hung, regional CEO for Greater China and North Asia, in the statement.

All appointments are effective from March 1.

The bank’s private banking and wealth management teams also announced several hires earlier this month.
