The Capco financial services and technology consultancy has opened a new office in Singapore to meet growing regional demand.

The new Singaporean operation will be led by recently appointed Capco Partners Bao-Viet Lê and Charles Bokman. The latter will be responsible for wealth management consulting, while Mr. Lê will lead the banking practice in Singapore.

Capco already has an office in Hong Kong, but by further expanding its Asian footprint it is hoping to pick up new business.

The Singapore office offers capabilities in the high-net-worth customer banking segment and in digital banking development. Core banking upgrade expertise is also available with Lê and Bokman and more new hires are expected soon.

Lê brings to the new office two decades of consulting practice focused on the banking industry, as well as eight years of experience in payments. He previously worked for another global consultancy as sales lead for emerging markets (Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc) and has acted as a client account manager for several pan-European and Asian banks.
