Prior to Standard Chartered Bank, Tseng held senior leadership positions at Citi in New York and Hong Kong, and earlier with Accenture in Singapore and Beijing.
“Her proven track record in overseeing complex, large-scale operations, driving strategic transformation, and cultivating high-performing teams will be a tremendous asset to the Group,” Nabaa said in a statement. “Given her deep understanding of Asian markets, I am confident she will further strengthen our capabilities across the region. I look forward to working closely with her as we continue to advance our business in Asia and globally and deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients. At the same time, I would like to thank Andreas Zingg for his contributions and wish him a fulfilling next chapter.”
In late July the bank appointed former Bank of Singapore senior manager Nira Tanoko (pictured below) as market head for Southeast Asia.
