Julius Baer has appointed Shui Wei Ho and Vi Sun Yang as market heads Southeast Asia, effective July 1st.
They succeed Chin Lit Yee, who is retiring after nearly four decades in banking. Yee has led the bank’s Southeast Asia market in multiple leadership positions and has made significant contributions during his 10-year tenure at Julius Baer, the bank says in a statement. He has been a mentor to emerging leaders and played a key role in expanding the bank’s talent bench, hiring the best people in a competitive market.
Both Ho and Yang will remain based in Singapore and report directly to Jimmy Lee, region head of Asia and member of the global wealth management committee.
Julius Baer says the appointments reflect the bank’s dedication to building a strong leadership team to support its strategic ambitions in Asia. In this pivotal role, they will lead the bank’s growth initiatives, enhance client relationships, and guide teams across the region.
With nearly three decades of wealth management experience, Ho and Yang have been expanding the business and strengthening client engagement across Asia.
Ho joined Julius Baer as group head of Southeast Asia in August 2022, and later took on the role as market head of Thailand, Japan and Asia Switzerland in January 2024, a role which she retains. She was the market head for Thailand and Indochina at Bank of Singapore before joining Julius Baer and previously worked with UBS and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Yang joined Julius Baer as group head of Southeast Asia in July 2022, having previously led the Singapore and Indonesia markets at UBS for 14 years. Prior to that, she was with American Express Bank, DBS Bank, and Standard Chartered Bank.
