Roger Bieri has taken over the helm of the newly created Business Sector Corporate & Institutional Clients International Services & Hubs and will relocate from Singapore to Switzerland. His successor takes over in July.
In his new role, Roger Bieri will report to Andy Kollegger, Head Corporate & Institutional Clients (CIC) International, and become a member of the CIC International Management Committee, according to a memo obtained by finews.asia.
Bieri moved to Singapore in 2013 with the task of the build-up of CIC in APAC. Since then, he has grown CIC APAC to a key business partner of UBS in APAC.
New Head Effective 1 July 2019
«As such, although we will miss him in Asia, we are very proud to see Roger Bieri taking on the responsibility for all CIC International Hubs, namely Americas/NY, Europe/Frankfurt, and APAC,» UBS wrote in an internal statement.
With Bieri moving back to Switzerland, Kay-Tin Khoo is taking over as new Head CIC APAC, effective 1 July 2019. In this capacity, he will report functionally to Bieri and become a member of the CIC International Services & Hubs Management Committee.
Reporting to Edmund Koh
In addition, he will report regionally to Edmund Koh, President APAC, and become a member of the APAC Executive Committee (APEC), representing P&C/CIC in APAC.
Kay-Tin Khoo started his career with UBS more than 13 years ago in the WM APAC FIM team before moving to the Investment Bank where he established the Client Execution Services desk covering WM APAC clients, and launched the Bank for Banks (B4B) Securities business, offering services to third-party banks.
Cross-Divisional Collaboration
The Client Execution Services desk eventually transitioned into WM when IPS was created. He has been leading the CIC Banks (B4B) client segment in APAC and was a founding member of the APAC Client Committee (APCC) helping to promote cross-divisional collaboration in APAC. In March 2018 Kay-Tin was appointed to his current role as Head Asset Servicing APAC.
