Julius Baer nets a former Goldman Sachs banker to lead its business in Southeast Asia. He will also assume a prominent role in Singapore while his predecessor takes on a new role in a major Asian market for the Swiss bank.
Jason Moo (pictured below) joins Julius Baer as head of its business in Southeast Asia, the Swiss private bank said in a memo on Friday. He will start in February and also lead the Singapore offices as its branch manager. Prior to joining Julius Baer, Moo was with Goldman Sachs for more than two decades, most recently as its head of private wealth management in Southeast Asia and Australia.
Moo succeeds Torsten Linke who will proceed to take on the new role as the bank’s head of global India and developed markets, effective January 1, 2020. Both Moo and Linke report to Jimmy Lee, head of APAC.
Linke's appointment as head of India is testimony to the bank's firm commitment to the business in one of the world's most populous countries. He will remain to be based in Singapore and also ensure a smooth hand-over of business to Moo.
