The Bank of Singapore announced senior leadership changes for its Family Office and Wealth Advisory business.

Elvin Ho will join Bank of Singapore on 4 May as head of Family Office and Structuring Solutions. 

In this role, Ho will lead the bank’s competency and solutions centre in developing its family office offering, wealth structures particularly for the bank’s UHNW segment, and philanthropy.

Ho joins from JPMorgan Private Bank where he advised UHNW clients across Southeast Asia on multi‑jurisdictional general taxation, estate and succession planning. 

Prior to that, he spent 19 years at UBS AG in senior roles spanning wealth planning, investment consulting, markets and business risk as a Competency Centre head.

As part of the strengthened leadership structure in the team, Jiawen Guo will take on the new role of head of Family Office and Wealth Advisory, Singapore, with responsibility for the Singapore‑based wealth advisory team.

Christine Wong continues to lead the Family Office and Wealth Advisory team in Hong Kong serving the bank’s growing domestic and Greater China markets, whilst Yasmine Omari leads the team in Dubai, supporting the bank’s clients from Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Harry Ng has also been appointed Senior Wealth Advisor, providing oversight of key client relationships for the Singapore and Malaysian markets.
