    HAVING spent decades in different roles in the financial industry, veteran banker Lim Him Chuan learnt that it is important to be wiling to take risks and be ready to fail.

    Lim, who has been in DBS for more than 20 years, was appointed group head of strategy, transformation, analytics and research earlier this year, where he looks after the bank’s transformation plans and data strategy.
