Pacheco, who will be joining the bank on 12 Octobe, will also lead coverage for the Philippines, which will entail driving a coordinated market strategy and business plan. Based in Singapore, she will report to Vi Sun Yang, head of private banking, ASEAN.

At her previous firm, Pacheco was group head, Southeast Asia at Julius Baer, leading a team of 30 relationship managers and assistant relationship managers. Before that, she held senior leadership positions at UBS, including market team head for the Philippines, head of equities for APAC, and head of direct access for client advisory in the APAC region.  

Her appointment follows the appointment of Vi Sun Yang as head of private banking, ASEAN at the end of June. 

In other hires, Bank of Singapore appointed Cecil Yeo, market group head for ASEAN, effective 7 December 2026, to lead coverage for Thailand.

“Aline is a highly respected private banker with extensive experience across ASEAN, especially in the Philippines. She has a strong track record of serving ultra-high net worth and high net worth clients, and a proven ability to build and grow successful teams. These are invaluable as we make a strong push to accelerate growth in our ASEAN franchise,” Vi Sun Yang said.
