United Overseas Bank has announced two senior leadership appointments, naming Susan Hwee as Head of Group Retail and Lawrence Goh as Head of Group Technology and Operations.
The appointments represent a planned internal succession. Hwee moves into the retail leadership role succeeding Eddie Khoo, who is retiring and will become Senior Advisor to UOB Vietnam. Goh, in turn, steps into the technology and operations brief that Hwee previously held.
THE APPOINTMENTS
The retail banking division encompasses personal financial services, credit cards, wealth management products and digital channels. The bank expanded its retail presence across the region through its acquisition of Citigroup's consumer banking franchises.
Eddie Khoo, who led the retail division prior to this transition, is retiring from that post and moves to a senior advisory role focused on UOB Vietnam.
The changes take effect on 1 September 2024.
