BNP Paribas Wealth Management Names China Market Head

BNP Paribas nets an ex-Citi private banker to become its new market head for China less than two years after its last reshuffle.

Kevin King has joined BNP Paribas Wealth Management, sources said, succeeding Philip Wong as the new China market head for the bank. Wong is believed to be retiring from the role after being named as its sole head upon the exit of fellow co-head Andrew Wong in August 2019.

When contacted, a spokesperson for the bank confirmed the appointment.

King was most recently with Citi Private Bank as its global market manager for southern mainland China. He previously also worked with UBS and J. Safra Sarasin.
