The appointment is in line with the Bank’s reorganisation of its Private Bank arm across three regional market groups, namely Southeast Asia, Singapore and North Asia.
UOB has named Khoo Lin-Wein as managing director and regional market head for Southeast Asia under its Private Bank arm, according to an announcement on Monday.
Khoo will be responsible for expanding the Bank’s high net worth client base across Southeast Asia and developing progressive products and services to meet their needs. He reports to Chew Mun Yew, UOB’s head of private wealth.
Private Banking Veteran
Khoo is an industry veteran with over 25 years of industry experience. He started his career at Mizuho where he was an equity sales trader from 1994 to 1998. Since then, he has focused on private banking and has worked with the likes of Coutts, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and Maybank, where he was head of private wealth for four years.
