Tan Su Shan as next DBS CEO seen as a nod to continuity
She will have about eight months to transition to the CEO role, during which she will ‘try out and get comfortable with all the moving parts to run a bank’, says Piyush Gupta
BANKING icon Piyush Gupta’s impending departure from DBS is unlikely to rock the boat for South-east Asia’s largest bank, according to analysts.
In fact, market watchers said that DBS is likely to have picked its group head of institutional banking Tan Su Shan to be its next CEO for the sake of continuity.
On Wednesday (Aug 8), the bank appointed Tan as deputy chief executive on top of her current role. She will replace Gupta when he retires in March 2025.
