Southeast Asia Private Banking Expansion Strengthens as Lombard Odier Hires DBS Veteran

Southeast Asia private banking expansion is accelerating as Lombard Odier appoints Edwin Tan as market head for the region, effective July 13, 2026, as the Swiss private bank strengthens its regional leadership.

Based in Singapore, Tan will report to Asia private clients head Omar Shokur and will be responsible for launching and leading a new Southeast Asia team, including hiring relationship managers and specialists to serve clients across key markets.

Tan joins from DBS, where he oversaw operations in Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam, helping rebuild its Thailand onshore business and deepen local talent pools.

He brings nearly three decades of experience, with previous roles at Credit Suisse, Siam Commercial Bank-Julius Baer and Deutsche Bank.

The appointment, which remains subject to regulatory approval, follows a series of senior hires by Lombard Odier across Southeast and North Asia in recent months, underscoring its commitment to expanding its Southeast Asia private banking platform.
