Bank of Singapore has appointed veteran banker Jacky Ang as Global Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective September 13. Jacky Ang has succeeded Sonjoy Phukan who will be leaving the Bank to pursue other interests.  

In his new role, Ang will report to Chief Executive Officer Jason Moo. He will be made a member of the Bank’s management committee.

In addition, he will spearhead the Bank’s transformation efforts and have oversight of the governance and operations to support the continued growth of the franchise in its key markets across ASEAN, Greater China, and the Middle East.

“Jacky is highly regarded as a strong leader with an innovative and forward-looking mindset. His in-depth knowledge of the industry across our key markets, coupled with a sound understanding of compliance, controls and risk management, will be a great asset to our franchise. I am confident that Jacky, together with the management team, will propel Bank of Singapore to greater heights,” said Jason Moo.
