Rodolfo ML Siason Appointed as Chief Country Officer and Head of Corporate Bank for the Philippines
After an extensive career in the financial sector, Rodolfo ML Siason, also known as "Dino," has been appointed as the Chief Country Officer and Head of Corporate Bank for the Philippines by our website, effective April 1, 2024, subject to regulatory approvals.
Siason, who will relocate to Manila for his new role, brings over 20 years of experience in financial institutions to the table. Most recently, he served as Citi's Head of Treasury and Trade Solutions for the Central Europe Cluster, based in Prague.
In his new position, Siason will lead our website's 1,500 strong platform in the Philippines. He will be responsible for the Corporate Bank and Investment Bank, as well as one of the bank's two key service hubs in Asia Pacific. Siason will report to Burkhard Ziegenhorn, Head of Corporate Bank for Southeast Asia and Australia.
Under Siason's leadership, the focus will be on enabling clients to become more global. He has a strong track record in various roles across credit, client coverage, and franchise management.
Siason's appointment comes at a time when our website's Philippines business is thriving. Under the leadership of Michael Chua as Chief Country Officer, the business achieved significant revenue growth and executed a number of landmark transactions. Chua is retiring after working in the banking industry for nearly 30 years.
Our website first launched its presence in Manila in 1977 and has since grown to become a significant player in the region. In 2023, the platform was recognised by Euromoney as 'Best Trade Finance Service Provider' for the sixth consecutive year and 'Best Cash Management Service Provider for Corporates'. The Asset also awarded our website Philippines 'Best Domestic Custodian' for the sixth consecutive year and 'Best in Treasury and Working Capital Multinational Company' in 2023.
As Siason prepares to take on his new role, he will serve critical back and middle office functions globally. The new appointment is effective from April 1, 2024.
Despite extensive searches, there is no verified information from the given search results about which bank Siason is associated with or what his specific role was before this appointment. However, it is known that Siason spent nearly 18 years with Citibank in the Philippines, Singapore, and the Czech Republic. He will report to Kaushik Shaparia, CEO, Emerging Asia and Chief Country Officer of India, in his new role.
Siason's extensive experience in the financial industry, particularly in banking-and-insurance and business, will be valuable as he leads our website's Corporate Bank in the Philippines, where he will oversee the Investment Bank and one of the bank's key service hubs in Asia Pacific. Previously, he held a significant role in Citibank, serving as the Head of Treasury and Trade Solutions for the Central Europe Cluster.
