Ronnie Cheung

Bank of Singapore has appointed Ronnie Cheung as chief operating officer ( COO ) of Greater China, Hong Kong branch, reporting locally to Cindy Wong, chief executive of the bank’s Hong Kong branch and functionally to Jacky Ang, its global COO.

In her new role, effective March 19, Cheung, who will be based in Hong Kong, will be responsible for the governance and operations of the bank’s Hong Kong branch to support the franchise’s continued growth across Greater China. She will also spearhead the bank’s transformation efforts and execution of key strategic initiatives in the region.

A banking veteran with more than 20 years of industry experience, Cheung joins from Credit Suisse, where she was the Hong Kong COO, a position she assumed in 2021. Prior to this, she was the China equities COO driving the firm’s strategy for its onshore and offshore equities business in mainland China.

Cheung has held several senior roles across different geographies – the US, the UK, Hong Kong and mainland China – overseeing a series of businesses as well as transformation projects. She has worked at various leading international banks, including Goldman Sachs, UBS and BNP Paribas.

The appointment, the bank says, is part of its continuous efforts to bolster its bench strength to entrench its leadership in Hong Kong.

“Greater China continues to represent a key region for Bank of Singapore,” Ang adds. “Cheung is joining us with an impressive track record, adding a wealth of experience at this important juncture.”
