DBS Appoints Pearlyn Phau as Deputy Group Head Of Consumer Banking & Wealth Management | 繁體

Singapore, Hong Kong, 27 Nov 2015 - DBS Bank announced today that Pearlyn Phau will be appointed as the new Deputy Group Head of Consumer Banking & Wealth Management, effective 1 January 2016. Pearlyn will relocate to Singapore and will report to Tan Su Shan, Group Head of Consumer Banking & Wealth Management.

Pearlyn is currently Managing Director and Head of Consumer Banking Group and Wealth Management at DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, where she oversees the consumer banking and private banking businesses in Hong Kong. She has been with DBS since 2003 and has assumed various leadership roles within the bank, including Head of DBS iBanking and Regional Head of DBS Treasures. Her new appointment underscores DBS’ commitment to internal mobility and talent development even as the bank continues to build upon its successes in the region.

“As we further entrench our position as a leading bank in Asia, we believe that it is important to groom the next generation of leaders from within. Pearlyn has consistently performed at a high level and is a real asset to the bank. In fact, she gamely took on the role of DBS Hong Kong’s consumer banking head in 2012 and under her leadership, our consumer banking and wealth franchise has performed well. Her promotion reflects the bank’s commitment to nurturing talent and investing in our people. Being Singaporean, this is also a special homecoming for Pearlyn and I am confident that she will continue to deliver value and make a meaningful impact in her new role,” said Tan Su Shan, DBS’ Group Head of Consumer Banking & Wealth Management.

Pearlyn is a Chartered Financial Analyst and an Associate Financial Planner. She obtained a Bachelor of Economics and Statistics degree from the National University of Singapore.

Her successor in Hong Kong will be announced in due course.
