Barclays Appoints Wee Yee-Yeong as Head of Private Bank for Singapore and Asia
Barclays has appointed Wee Yee-Yeong as the new head of its private bank in Singapore and across Asia. With over two decades of experience in wealth management, he will lead operations from Singapore while also managing a regional strategy alongside distribution teams serving international Asian clients. The appointment is set to take effect later this year. Wee replaces Alexander Harrison, who has been interim head since the role became vacant. Barclays recently launched its Singapore booking center earlier this month as part of broader growth initiatives in Asia Pacific. Jaideep Khanna, CEO of Barclays Asia Pacific, emphasized that Singapore plays a central role in the bank's long-term strategy and highlighted Wee’s experience at institutions like Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and Goldman Sachs. Wee will work closely with Adrish Ghosh, who continues to lead operations in India. His leadership is expected to strengthen client relationships among entrepreneurs, family offices, and globally connected clients.
