Based in Hong Kong, Chan will report to Lok Yim, regional head, global private banking, Asia-Pacific, and Maggie Ng, head of wealth and personal banking, Hong Kong.

Chan joined Deutsche Bank in 2007 and has since held several senior positions in its wealth management business, most recently as head of North Asia for the private bank. Prior to that, she led capital markets business in wealth management, Asia-Pacific. Before joining Deutsche Bank, Chan worked at Citi Private Bank and DBS Private Bank.
