Lee and Wang become the third joiners in less than a year from Deutsche Bank to HSBC in Singapore. In September last year, HSBC named ex-Deutsche Bank regional vice chairman Philip Lee as its new Southeast Asia vice chairman.
Restructuring at both HSBC and Deutsche Bank has led to a flurry of talent movement between the two lenders across business divisions. Just last month, Deutsche Bank hired former HSBC private banker Chow Shang-Wei to become the Southeast Asia head of its wealth arm.
And outside of Asia, HSBC reportedly hired Deutsche Bank’s former co-head of corporate finance for Europe, the Middle East and Africa Adam Bagshaw as its global co-head of advisory and investment banking coverage.
