Edmund Lee, the bank’s current senior country officer in the city-state, will become vice-chair of Asia-Pacific, the memo shows. The appointment of Hong, JPMorgan’s head of corporate banking for Singapore and Asean, will take effect from Oct 1. She will continue in her existing roles.
Hong has more than 25 years of experience in the banking industry, 15 of them with JPMorgan, according to the memo. As senior country officer, her responsibilities will include helping to facilitate client engagement, drive local governance and controls and ensure strong coordination.
