HSBC Singapore appoints new head of commercial banking

She previously held the role of head of global banking.

HSBC has appointed Priya Kini as Head of Commercial Banking of HSBC Singapore effective 1 January 2024.

Kini will be responsible for driving further growth and deepening client relationships across the Commercial Banking business in Singapore. Kini succeeds Regina Lee who has been appointed Head of Commercial Banking at Hang Seng Bank.

Kini joined HSBC in 2001 and has held various leadership positions in key markets including Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK and India. Ms Kini was appointed to her current role as Head of Global Banking (GB) Singapore in February 2019 where she was responsible for leading coverage and financing solutions for the Bank’s major public, corporate and institutional clients.

Kini will report to Wong Kee Joo, Chief Executive Officer, HSBC Singapore and Amanda Murphy, Head of Commercial Banking, South and Southeast Asia, HSBC.

“We are delighted to have Priya take on the new role as her extensive global banking experience and strong track record in driving business growth will enable us to further accelerate our strategy which is built on Singapore as the springboard to Southeast Asia and beyond,” Wong Kee Joo, CEO of HSBC Singapore said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
