Head of RBC Wealth Management in emerging markets, Barend Janssens, will take on the responsibilities of departing head of RBC Wealth Management Asia, Andrew Turczyniak.

Direct reporting lines between regional heads and Janssens, who is based in Singapore, have been established as RBC prepares to move closer to the market in Asia.

RBC have decided not to replace Turczyniak and the arm will restructure instead. RBC declined to comment further on the nature of the restructure.
