Benjamin Tan has been named interim head of managed solutions, Asia-Pacific at Credit Suisse, with effect from 1 September. His predecessor, Rodolphe Larqué, is leaving the bank to pursue other opportunities.

Tan, who re-joined Credit Suisse in 2004 as a foreign exchange sales dealer, has more than 20 years’ experience in the products space. Over the years, he has served in several managerial roles across the private banking sales and execution teams for FX, equities, structured products and fixed income. As product lead for the China onshore project since the start of 2021, Tan has worked with onshore and offshore stakeholders to set up the products team and defined a suite of product offerings for China onshore.

Like some of its peers, the Zurich-listed bank has added to its Asia payroll to tap growing wealth in the region. In the first six months of this year, it has appointed – in net terms – 50 relationship managers across both North and South Asia. The bank has also hired staff for its branches in India, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia.

In July the Swiss bank appointed Stella Lau as market leader in its private banking China Singapore market. In May it appointed Dominique Boer as market group head for Singapore with immediate effect. Among other recent appointments was that of Malcolm Tay as deputy market group head and market leader for Indonesia, based in Singapore; Joyce Low as market leader for Malaysia, based in Singapore; Wee Ing Peng as team leader for the Malaysia market, based in Singapore, and Tammy Tan as team leader for the Thailand and Vietnam Market, also based in Singapore.
