People are what make private banking and wealth management. PBI therefore gives out two very special people awards every year: The Rising Star for Asia-Pacific and Outstanding Young Private Bankers. Here are the winners.
Rising Star for Asia-Pacific

Since then, in her role as a senior private bank relationship manager at DBS, Bi has developed a truly pan-Asian career, managing UHNWI clients in Mainland China, portfolios in Taiwan and family offices in Singapore.
