Banks Strengthen Hong Kong Corporate Banking Leadership

Hong Kong corporate banking leadership is being reshaped as Citi and UOB appoint new heads to strengthen client coverage in the financial hub.

Citi named Anita Li as head of corporate banking for Hong Kong, effective July 2026.

She joins from Standard Chartered, where she led investor coverage across Greater China and North Asia.

Separately, UOB appointed Cliff Law as head of corporate banking in Hong Kong, effective immediately, succeeding Anthony Tse.

Law brings over 20 years of experience across Hong Kong and mainland China and will focus on expanding UOB’s franchise and supporting cross-border flows between China and ASEAN.

The appointments highlight continued competition among banks to deepen regional client relationships.
