Ms Elaine Heng, now OCBC's group chief strategy and transformation officer, will succeed Mr Linus Goh, the current head of global commercial banking who retires on Sept 30. Mr Tan Yuen Siang, currently OCBC's head of global financial institutions, will join the global wholesale banking leadership team. Both Ms Heng and Mr Tan Yuen Siang will report to Mr Tan Teck Long, the head of global wholesale banking. Mr Tan Yuen Siang will retain his title, but report directly to Mr Tan Teck Long under global wholesale banking. Currently, he reports to Mr Goh, who oversees global financial institutions as well. Ms Heng joined OCBC in April 2024, and became group chief strategy and transformation officer in November of that year. Before OCBC, she was chief executive officer of retail business and deputy group chief executive officer at FairPrice Group; prior to that, she spent almost two decades in banking. Mr Tan Yuen Siang joined OCBC in 2005 and has, since 2021, led its global financial institutions business, expanding partnerships with non-bank financial institutions. Mr Linus Goh joined OCBC in April 2004 as head of international and was instrumental in the bank's growth within Asean and Greater China. In 2008, he took on leadership responsibilities for the commercial banking and global financial institutions divisions. The bank said he played a 'critical role' in growing its global financial institutions business, clocking a strong operating profit growth of nearly 40 per cent over the past three years, driven by the growth of the global funds and Greater China financial institutions sectors. Ms Helen Wong, the bank's group CEO, said Mr Goh 'built and nurtured a high-performing commercial banking team and has made strong contributions to the broader Singapore banking industry, championing SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) development, digital innovation and sustainable finance'.
