HSBC Private Bank Shuffles Leadership to Capture Asian Wealth Flows

Vivek Pandohi steps into the role of head of Middle East for Global India, tasked with expanding coverage across the Gulf Cooperation Council. He joins Harjeet Singh, who moves from Bank of Singapore to serve as senior desk head for Global India in Singapore. Both executives report to Gautam Anand, who assumed the leadership of the Global India franchise earlier this year.

The bank has also bolstered its local and offshore desks in Singapore. Lay Hong Tan, a veteran with 15 years in private banking and a background at UBS, will lead the domestic coverage team for high-net-worth families. Jay See, formerly of Credit Suisse and UBS, joins to head the offshore China market desk. These additions reflect a broader trend of aggressive talent acquisition among international banks seeking to deepen their footprint in Asian financial centers.
