The Switzerland-based bank, which is continuing to add to its headcount in Asia, has made senior appointments in Malaysia.

Credit Suisse has made a number of appointments, including naming Joyce Low (pictured) as market leader for Malaysia, a newly-created role. 

Low will continue to report to Jin Yee Young, market group head for Singapore, Malaysia and South Asia Switzerland. She  joined the Swiss bank 25 years ago and progressed to becoming a senior client partner before being a team leader.
