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.
