The banker had been at DBS for about five years and joined the UK-listed lender early in September, according to a Linkedin profile. He is based in Singapore. Prior to joining DBS in 2012, he previously worked at ANZ.

The appointments means the UK-listed bank has hired more than 50 bankers and advisors since the fourth quarter of last year.
