"Credit Suisse is making progress in building up our Greater China PB franchise and strengthening our Hong Kong hub. The scalability of our private banking front organisation structure continues to enable us to hire, develop and retain the best talent, while nurturing a strong team culture," said Tee in a statement.

This appointment follows expansion efforts in the region in the past months. In late 2013, the company brought in Luo Liuyi as managing director and market leader for Greater China and Jason Yeung as managing director and senior client partner for the same area.
