Deutsche WM Hires Non-Resident Indian Bankers For Southeast Asia Region
A group of NRI bankers have joined Deutsche's wealth arm in Asia and the firm said more hires in Singapore and Dubai are due in the first quarter.
Deutsche
Bank Wealth Management has hired three new managing directors
in Asia, based in Singapore and covering the Non-Resident Indian
market in the Southeast Asia region. More hires at the bank’s
wealth arm are expected in Singapore and Dubai at various
seniority levels in the first three months of 2018.
Rasik Ahuja joins the German firm from Union Bancaire Privée,
where he had been desk head – NRI & South Asia since 2014. Sagar
Sapra comes from Standard Chartered Bank where he was principal
director since 2011. And Swapnil Mishra previously worked at BSI
Bank where he was deputy head of GSA Business for eight
years.
“Deutsche Bank WM continues to see very strong business momentum
in the NRI segment. Rasik, Sagar and Swapnil have decades of
private banking experience and proven track records as senior
bankers in the business.” Amrit Singh, head of WM Coverage,
Greater Southeast Asia, said.
Relocated to Singapore from London in September 2017 in order to
best support the business growth plan in Asia, Singh added that
the NRI business is backed by Lok Yim, head of WM APAC who
announced last year the regional plan to invest in both talent
and technology.
Singh added that in the first quarter of this year there will be
another 10 hires at various levels of seniority joining the team
in Singapore and Dubai, which is another growth hub of the GSA
business.
