Lim will focus on developing and deepening the bank’s relationship with key Southeast Asia clients and stakeholders, bringing to clients the spectrum of Credit Suisse’s products and services, and drive business growth. He will also bring to the bank his vast experience in products and solutions offerings.

Lim was most recently vice chairman Southeast Asia at Julius Baer in Singapore, where he had worked for 12 years. He left after former Asia CEO Tom Meier relocated to Switzerland. Prior to that, he already worked at Credit Suisse as head of solution partners, leading the business that served ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients across their private investments and capital solutions.
In total he brings with him close to 30 years of global banking experience across both private clients as well as institutional businesses.
