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.
