Manulife Investment Management Singapore names new CEO

The company promoted one of its executives, Hui-Jian Koh, for the position.

Manulife Investment Management Singapore promoted Hui-Jian Koh as its new CEO, who will also retain her post as head of retail distribution and partnerships in Southeast Asia.

Hui-Jian joined the investment firm in 2019 where she led sustainable business growth and built positive revenue momentum by coordinating with the Singapore-based and regional functional teams.

As the new CEO, Hui-Jian will be responsible for developing and implementing Manulife Investment Management Singapore’s corporate strategy and will manage the company’s overall wealth and asset management business in the Singapore market.
