Singapore’s OCBC announced that Tan Teck Long, currently head of global wholesale banking, will succeed Helen Wong as CEO upon her retirement at the end of 2025. Tan will serve as deputy CEO until officially taking over leadership.

Helen Wong, OCBC’s first female CEO, made history with her leadership and strategic achievements, including integrating Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s Indonesian business and strengthening OCBC's control over insurer Great Eastern. The board praised her for positioning the bank on solid ground; Tan’s appointment underscores continuity and stability as OCBC transitions leadership.
