J.P. Morgan has named David Koh head of Treasury & Securities Services, China and head of Treasury Services, Greater China, as the firm continues on an aggressive international growth plan.
Koh joins J.P. Morgan following a 4-year tenure at Deutsche Bank, where he was most recently head of Global Transaction Banking for China and head of Trade Finance, Cash Management, Corporates for Greater China.
Kohs role as head of Treasury & Securities Services, China involves overseeing delivery of client service, sales, product and operations across J.P. Morgans Treasury Service and Worldwide Securities Services businesses. In his additional capacity as head of Treasury Services, Greater China, Koh will support the firms global, regional and large domestic clients in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Koh will be based in Beijing and report regionally to Tom DuCharme, CEO of Asia Pacific for Treasury & Securities Services, and in-country to Zili Shao, senior country officer for China.
Prior to his role at Deutsche Bank, Koh spent almost 15 years at HSBC in a variety of management roles in the US, UK, Middle East, China, Hong Kong and Singapore.
After opening our doors for business in China 90 years ago, the extended Greater China region has become an important cornerstone of J.P. Morgans international business and a core growth area for our global, regional and large domestic clients, DuCharme says. Davids appointment to these two key roles will allow us to deepen our focus on our clients while providing a seamless client experience across the China, Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, making it easier, simpler and faster for our clients to do business in an increasingly competitive and complex global environment.
So far this year, J.P. Morgan Treasury & Securities Services has grown its headcount in the region by approximately 400.
