MD, Head of Ecommerce and EFX, Global Markets, OCBC Bank

Established in 1932, Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited, is a regional bank based in Singapore. It provides a broad range of services which include wealth management, cash management, retail, corporate and investment banking. Its key markets are Greater China and South-East Asia.

I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering in 2004 from National University of Singapore. OCBC, Global Markets has been home for the past 13 years. I spent many early years driving change, helping steer the division's pivot to electronification of market making and customer service.
My current responsibilities include developing electronic market making and distribution capabilities across asset classes. I also oversee EFX risk management globally. Before OCBC, I spent several enjoyable years in Deutschebank and FXall in related product and operational roles.

What has experience taught me?
Engineers like me innately believe technology can help people achieve their goals. But like all else in life, it is crucial to first understand whose goals matter most.
