As a member of the bank’s Executive Committee, Lim will contribute to senior corporate decision-making, foster cross-bank collaboration and ensure alignment with strategic objectives. She will oversee two Investment Operations departments: Financial Institutions and Funds Clients (Global) and Public Sector Clients (Region 1), working closely with the Investment Operations leadership team and Management Committee to enhance joint decision-making and client-centric delivery.
