Lizin’s hire is subject to regulatory clearance, the UK-listed bank said in a statement today.

Prior to this, Lizin was head of wealth management and senior executive officer for Dubai at UBS. His roles have included those of chief operating officer, and building platforms in Asia and an onshore Japan business. Lizin will be based in Singapore and report to Didier von Daeniken, global head, private banking and wealth management.

Andrew Ho, MD and market head, South and Southeast Asia, private banking, will take on interim responsibilities for the private banking business in the region until Lizin joins later this year.
