Vineet Vohra, who was general manager of wealth management, consumer and private banking for Asia-Pacific at the top four lender, starts as regional head of wealth development for Asia-Pacific at
HSBC, effective immediately. He will be based in Hong Kong.

Vohra has over 20 years of experience in consumer banking, investment management, wealth products and distribution. As well as ANZ he has also served in a number of leadership roles at Citibank and ING in Singapore and India.
