Ex-Maybank Private Wealth Head Resurfaces

Maybank’s former head of private wealth has reemerged at a rival Southeast Asian private bank.

Khoo Lin-Wein was named head of wealth at Vietnam’s Techcombank, sources based in Hanoi said.

Founded in 1993, Techcombank is one of the largest joint-stock banks in Vietnam today with over 300 branches and more than 5 million customers.

Khoo is an industry veteran, having first started his career at Mizuho where he was an equity sales trader from 1994 to 1998.

Since then, he has focused on private banking and has worked with the likes of Coutts, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and, most recently, Maybank where he was head of private wealth for four years.
