Bank of Singapore, the private banking subsidiary of OCBC, announced the appointment of Ms Vi Sun Yang (杨渭杉) as its Head of Private Banking, ASEAN with effect from 29 June 2026.
Ms Yang will be a member of the Bank’s global management committee, reporting to Bank of Singapore’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Jason Moo.
As Head of Private Banking, ASEAN, Ms Yang will lead the strategic growth and development of Bank of Singapore’s franchise across the region – the Bank’s largest market. Her appointment deepens its commitment to serving the wealth management needs of clients across ASEAN. This is in line with OCBC’s new corporate strategy, The Next Frontier, which includes an Asia Shift aimed at capturing rising Asian wealth flows.
In 2025, Bank of Singapore recorded strong business momentum, surpassing its previously announced target of US$145 billion in assets under management (AUM) set in 2023, and growing its global AUM by more than 20%.
Ms Yang is an industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in wealth management and a track record of leading both high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth front-office teams covering the Southeast Asia region. She joins Bank of Singapore from Julius Baer, where she was Market Head for Southeast Asia. Prior to that, she spent 14 years with UBS Singapore, where she held several senior leadership roles, including Head of the Private Client Segment covering seven markets in Asia and Market Head for Indonesia. She previously held roles at American Express, DBS and Standard Chartered.
Ms Yang’s appointment marks the latest in a series of strategic hires aimed at strengthening the Bank’s leadership bench and accelerating growth. Most recently, in March 2026, Bank of Singapore appointed Mr Eng Chien Chan as Market Group Head for Greater China and Mr Bernard Heng as Head of Customised Solutions within its Investment Solutions Group.
Mr Jason Moo, Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Singapore, said: “We look forward to welcoming Vi Sun to the Bank of Singapore family. Our continued ability to attract top talent like her underscores the strong appeal of our franchise and the confidence private bankers have in joining us on our growth journey. As a bank headquartered in Singapore, ASEAN is an important region for us, one where we consistently invest to enhance our capabilities and strengthen our client proposition. I am confident Vi Sun’s wealth of experience and proven leadership will further uplift the momentum of our growing ASEAN business.”
Ms Yang holds a Bachelor of Business Administration with first class honours from the National University of Singapore, a Master of Science in wealth management from the University of Rochester, William E. Simon School of Business, and a Master of Advanced Studies in finance from the University of Bern.
