CCB, the only Chinese bank in Switzerland, has expanded the Zurich-based team with a currency expert. The banker previously worked for a U.K. agency in Beijing.
Xinxin Liang is working as a relationship manager at the treasury of China Construction Bank (CCB) in Zurich, according to a statement today.
Liang is advising companies on cross-border transactions and the Chinese money market, drawing on her vast network of contacts in China. She also helps companies to participate in the investment program called QFII/RQFII, according to the statement.
Career at the Commonwealth Office
The banker previously worked on the renminbi project of the U.K. Commonwealth Office in Beijing. She also has a past at Anglo-Chinese banking giant HSBC, working on the financial policy team in London.
With the hire, CCB shows that it is about to start expanding its business in Switzerland following the initial start-up phase. CCB in October 2015 opened a branch in Zurich, drawing a lot of attention in the financial heart of Switzerland. The bank currently has about 20 people under contract.
David Gong is managing the branch as chief executive officer, supported by Holger Demuth as his head of operations.
