HSBC has appointed a successor for the role of wealth and personal banking head in Malaysia after it was left vacant for three months.
HSBC named Renee Bullock-Cann as head of wealth and personal banking (WPB) in Malaysia, according to a statement, succeeding Tara Latini who was named head of WPB in the U.S. in April.
Bullock-Cann reports to HSBC Malaysia chief executive Stuart Milne and APAC regional head of wealth and personal banking Greg Hinston.
Bullock-Cann was most recently the head of distribution for WPB in Malaysia after relocating to the country in 2019. Previously, she was head of WPB for HSBC Bermuda.
According to HSBC, Malaysia is a priority market for the bank which has made various investments including $18 million from 2018 to 2020 to improve branches and client experience; $40 million from 2021 to 2023 to add tech capabilities to branches; the creation of 200 new roles; and the roll-out of various digital services.
Our ambition is simple: we want to be the bank that Malaysians turn to for their international needs, Milne said.
We will leverage our unparalleled international network, enhance our range of wealth solutions and focus on building our digital capabilities including our mobile functionality, our in-branch technology, and our people’s digital skills.
