HSBC appoints Indonesia chief
HSBC Private Banking has named Benedikt Maissen as Market Head for Indonesia. He will be responsible for business development and client engagement, according to the bank’s announcement on July 9. Maissen, who has over 39 years of experience in private banking across Southeast Asia and international market, was the leader of the Southeast Asia region for an international private bank. Based in Singapore, he will report directly to Philip Kunz, Head of Southeast Asia, HSBC Private Banking. The appointment follows HSBC’s globally announced plans to invest in and accelerate the growth of its Asian wealth business. HSBC Singapore is another of the eight markets identified for a strategic refresh by the bank. “Asia now has more high net worth individuals than any other part of the world. As one of the region’s largest private banks, we are well positioned to bring in more of these flows,” said Kunz.
