Greater China Markets Head Leaves Swiss Bank; Replacement Named

Anna Wong, market area head, Greater China, has resigned
from Credit Suisse to pursue other opportunities after spending less than two
years in that position, this publication can confirm.

Tee Fong Seng, vice chairman for private banking Asia Pacific,
will take on the roles of market area head, Greater China, and head of private banking,
Hong Kong,  reporting functionally  to Francesco de Ferrari, head of private banking
Asia Pacific, and from a location perspective to Neil Harvey and Liping Zhang, co-chief
executives for Greater China. Tee Fong Seng will be based in Hong
Kong, the Zurich-listed bank said in an emailed statement to this website.

Tee Fong Seng has more than 30 years of global banking experience
across a wide spectrum of responsibilities and management positions. As vice chairman
for private banking Asia Pacific, he provided senior client coverage and
support for ultra high net worth and key clients.

“Credit Suisse is confident that Fong Seng, with his
extensive and diverse experience in the finance industry, contributions to the
success and growth of the business in Private Banking Asia Pacific, as well as
experience with UHNW clients, will bring the required strong leadership to our
Greater China business,” the bank said.

WealthBriefingAsia exclusively reported in October 2011 that Wong had
joined Credit Suisse’s Greater China business, reporting to Francesco de
Ferrari.

Previously, Wong was chief executive for HSBC Broking
Services (Asia) between 2009 and 2011. Prior
to that, she was managing director and co-head, Hong Kong
market area at HSBC Private Bank.
