Julius Baer has appointed Pamela Tseng as its chief operating officer (COO) for Asia, with the appointment taking effect on 16 November 2026.

Andreas Zingg, who currently holds the post, will leave the group on retirement after 23 years at Julius Baer.

The Swiss private bank said Zingg had a central part in developing its operating set-up in Asia, overseeing major "transformation" programmes.

Tseng, who will be based in Singapore, is set to work with Zingg during the handover period.

In the role, she will oversee efforts to improve both client and employee experience across Asia.

She will report to Jean Nabaa, chief operating officer and member of the executive board, as well as Jimmy Lee, Asia region head and member of the global wealth management committee.

Nabaa said: "I am delighted to welcome Pamela Tseng to the Bank. Her proven track record in overseeing complex, large-scale operations, driving strategic transformation, and cultivating high-performing teams will be a tremendous asset to the Group.

"At the same time, I would like to thank Andreas Zingg for his contributions and wish him a fulfilling next chapter."

Before joining Julius Baer, Tseng was at Standard Chartered Bank, where she most recently served as global chief operating officer for private banking.

Earlier there, she was COO for wealth solutions and affluent banking.

She previously held senior posts at Citi in New York and Hong Kong and earlier worked at Accenture in Singapore and Beijing.

Tseng said: "I am honoured to join the Bank at such an exciting time for the Asia business. The region presents significant opportunities, and I look forward to growing the business with colleagues across our markets and functions to further strengthen our operating platform, enhance the client experience and support the Bank's long-term strategic ambitions. I am excited to be part of an organisation with such a strong heritage, talented people and unwavering commitment to clients."

In July, Julius Baer Group named Peter Burrill as chief financial officer (CFO) and executive board member, replacing Evie Kostakis.
