In a strategic move to bolster its leadership and operational capabilities within the Greater China region, Bank of Singapore has announced the appointment of Ronnie Cheung as the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) for its Hong Kong branch, effective March 19.
This pivotal hire from Credit Suisse, where Cheung served as the Hong Kong COO, signifies Bank of Singapore’s dedication to enhancing its governance, operations, and transformation efforts across Greater China.
Cheung brings to the role over two decades of profound experience in the banking sector, having held several senior positions across major global banks, including Goldman Sachs, UBS, and BNP Paribas. Her appointment is set to drive the bank’s strategic initiatives and support the franchise’s continued growth in the region.
Based in Hong Kong, Cheung will report locally to Cindy Wong, CEO of Bank of Singapore’s Hong Kong branch, and functionally to Jacky Ang, Global COO. Her responsibilities will encompass the oversight of the bank’s governance and operations, as well as leading the bank’s transformation efforts within Greater China.
Ronnie Cheung’s diverse background, with roles in the US, the UK, Hong Kong, and mainland China, particularly as the Chinese equities COO at Credit Suisse, managing both onshore and offshore equities strategies, positions her as a valuable asset to Bank of Singapore’s ambitious growth and expansion plans in Asia.
This appointment marks yet another step in Bank of Singapore’s strategy to strengthen its leadership team and operational efficiency in a region that continues to present vast opportunities for wealth management and banking services.
