BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) has appointed David Wong See-hong as deputy chief executive to replace Chan Tze-ching, who resigned in March for health reasons.
From July 1, Mr Wong will oversee the bank's financial markets business, which covers investments, global markets, cash management, custody and insurance products and other capital-market-related business lines, the bank said yesterday.
Mr Wong will report to chief executive He Guangbei.
'Mr Wong has spent the last 25 years in the banking sector and has extensive knowledge and experience in treasury and financial products,' the bank said. BOCHK appointed Mr Chan, formerly head of Citigroup's Hong Kong operations, as deputy chief executive in October last year to help the city's second-largest banking group expand its fee-based business.
Before joining BOCHK, Mr Wong was corporate executive vice-president and country executive of ABN Amro Bank, responsible for its operations in Southeast Asia.
He joined ABN in 1995 and held various senior positions including regional head of financial markets and country executive in Singapore.
