Over his 27-year working with the Group, Jin has gained extensive experience in wholesale banking which spanned investment and corporate banking services in the company’s regional franchise and strategic financial location centres globally.

He served as managing director, regional head of Debt Markets at Maybank Investment Bang, and managing director, Corporate Banking for Group Global Banking which he held for the last six years.

Amongst his achievements include the execution of a landmark debt capital market transaction which established the bank’s position as the leading regional Sukuk arranger.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
