Veteran banker Han Kwee Juan will be joining DBS Bank as Group Head of Strategy and Planning in April.
In this role, Han will report to CEO Piyush Gupta and be a member of the Group Management Committee. He joins DBS from Citibank after a 27-year career leading various businesses including consumer banking, corporate banking and transaction banking. Most recently the CEO of Citi Singapore – a position he has held since 2012 – he had oversight of Citi’s onshore retail banking, wealth management, cards and personal loans, mortgage and retail SME businesses in Singapore.
At DBS, Han will occupy the role previously held by Shee Tse Koon who, as part of the bank’s commitment to people development, moved on to become DBS’ Singapore Country Head in December last year.
DBS CEO Piyush Gupta said, “Over the years, we’ve made it a point to build our leadership primarily through growing our own timber. We are pleased that we have many capable leaders as a consequence. However, from time to time, it is also good to supplement our bench with external talent, allowing us to gain from new perspectives. Kwee Juan will be a good addition, and I look forward to leading this solid team as we continue on our journey to enrich lives, transform businesses and make a sustainable difference in the communities we operate in.”
