Yangzijiang Financial Holding (YZJFH) has appointed a veteran of DBS and Standard Chartered as its chief risk officer.
Chiang Kheng Hong, age 54, was appointed chief risk officer, effective Thursday, according to a filing to SGX Tuesday.
«Chiang will oversee the corporate risk management functions of the group, covering the investment management business, the fund and wealth management business, along with cash management and operations in Singapore,» the company said. «The appointment is part of the group’s efforts to strengthen and solidify the management structure.»
DBS Veteran
Chiang’s previous roles have included interim regional treasury for Standard Chartered Bank’s Hong Kong Hub from June 2021 to May 2022, with a mandate for capital, liquidity and interest rate risk management, the filing said.
He was also the regional head for treasury risk at GCNA from 2014 to June 2021 and head of market and liquidity risk at DBS Bank in Hong Kong from 2012 to 2014, the filing said.
YZJFH was recently spun off from Chinese shipbuilder Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) and listed on Singapore Exchange.
