Julius Baer has appointed Benjamin Sim as group head Greater China Singapore, effective 1 June, 2024. Based in Singapore, Sim will report to Yee Kim Tan, market head Greater China Singapore. Sim joined the bank in 2016 and is currently deputy branch manager and chief operating officer Singapore, overseeing COO services across the Singapore platform and supporting branch-related matters.

Before relocating to Singapore in 2020, he held the role of COO Hong Kong. He continues his current responsibilities as deputy branch manager Singapore. Andreas Zingg, COO Asia, will take on the responsibilities as COO Singapore, in addition to his existing role.

This comes after the bank?s Greater China deputy market group head Vincent Ming departed last November. Ming was at the Swiss pure-play for more than two years as a managing director based in Singapore. He has since joined wealth firm Azura Partners as its Singapore CEO.
