OCBC Appoints Veteran Banker Noel Gerald DCruz as Group Chief Risk Officer

Date:

OCBC Bank announced the appointment of veteran banker Noel Gerald DCruz as Group Chief Risk Officer from 1 January 2023, succeeding Vincent Choo who will stay on as an adviser.

DCruz joined OCBC in 1989 after a stint in the Monetary Authority of Singapore and currently heads both the Group Risk Portfolio Management department as well as the Group Data Management Office.

He has been closely involved in the reorganisation of the OCBC’s credit risk management structure, the set-up of the Credit Risk Management Committee and various specialised risk management units.

With the appointment, DCruz will be made a member of the Management Committee and the Management Executive Committee.

Two other senior managers were also earlier elevated from within the ranks to the C-suite, namely Goh Chin Yee to Group Chief Financial Officer and Sunny Quek as Head of Global Consumer Financial Services.
