We welcome Rickie to the Bank of Singapore family. With his extensive private banking experience, exceptional people management skills, and demonstrated management abilities, I firmly believe that Rickie will be a great asset and I look forward to continued success and growth of our Hong Kong hub under his leadership. Teresa has been instrumental in driving our growth in the Greater China region and is highly regarded by colleagues, business partners and industry peers. It is fitting that she assumes this new role of vice-chair, Greater China. Her appointment will strengthen our capabilities in serving this region’s ultra-high net worth individuals and families.”
