In his Singapore-based role, van de Walle reports to Benjamin Hung, regional CEO of Greater China and North Asia, and CEO of retail banking and wealth management, according to a statement.
The appointment was first announced in June just two months after van de Walle left his last employer, OCBC.

«In 2019, the Private Bank recorded strong double-digit income and asset under management growth. [von Daeniken’s] dedication to building the Wealth Management business has enabled the Bank to grow its affluent business through supporting both the Retail Bank and Private Bank.»
