MOVES-Singapore's OCBC hires former HSBC's Greater China chief Wong in senior role

SINGAPORE, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp
Ltd (OCBC) named Helen Wong, former HSBC Holdings'
Greater China chief, as the head of its newly created global
wholesale banking division.

Wong will oversee the bank's cash management and trade under
the transaction banking business as well as the investment
banking business, Singapore's second-largest lender
said in a statement on Wednesday.

Wong will also have global responsibilities for all banking
relationships with small- and medium-sized enterprises, large
corporates and financial institutions.

The senior banker, who left HSBC last year after a 27-year
stint, was also appointed as a deputy president and would report
to OCBC's Group CEO Samuel Tsien.

Wong, who started her banking career at OCBC Bank in 1984 as
a management trainee in Singapore, will join OCBC from Feb 3.
OCBC also named Ching Wei Hong, it's current chief operating
officer, as a deputy president.
