The firm said it has made a number of appointments across its Southeast Asia private banking business. Credit Suisse has, like some rivals, made a point about ramping up its Asian operations in recent years. Its Asia-Pacific regional revenue surged by 39 per cent in Q1 from a year ago, and now accounts for 20 per cent of group revenue.

Credit Suisse has appointed Dominique Boer (pictured) as market group head for Singapore with immediate effect.

Boer, who will be responsible for delivering the bank’s capabilities to clients in the Singapore market, continues to report to Jin Yee Young, market group head for Singapore, Malaysia and South Asia Switzerland markets, the bank said today.

She joined Credit Suisse in 2015 as market leader for Singapore and expanded her role to deputy market group head for Singapore in 2016. Previously, she held senior positions at Standard Chartered Bank covering Southeast Asia and Greater China markets.

“Asia Pacific is a key growth region for Credit Suisse, and we are continuing to build up our private banking franchise to capture the vast opportunities in the wealth management sector here. We remain deeply committed to nurturing and promoting senior talent to deepen our senior management bench strength, as well as in expanding our team, having hired relationship managers who have joined us recently,” Benjamin Cavalli, head of Private Banking South Asia and CEO Singapore, Credit Suisse, said.
