Deutsche Bank has appointed Rodolfo (Dino) Siason as chief country officer and head of corporate bank for the Philippines, effective 1 April.
In the role, Siason will be responsible for the company’s corporate and investment banks in the region and one of its APAC service hubs.
He will report to Burkhard Ziegenhorn, head of corporate bank for Southeast Asia and Australia, and Kaushik Shaparia, CEO of emerging Asia and chief country officer for India. He replaces Michael Chua, who has held the role for close to three decades.
Siason has more than 20 years of industry experience and joins Deutsche Bank from Citi, where he has spent the majority of his career. He currently serves as head of central Europe treasury and trade solutions at the firm, based in Prague.
Before this, he held directorial roles in Singapore, as an APAC regional account manager and senior credit officer, and the Philippines, where he was director of local corporates and the public sector.
Ziegenhorn comments: “[Siason’s] global client coverage and product expertise, combined with his deep local market knowledge, will help further differentiate Deutsche Bank in the Philippines.
“We are thankful to Mike for his dedicated leadership with the bank; he hands over a strong platform poised for further success. We have built many trusted and valued relationships here over past decades, and I am confident that Dino will enhance and grow these over the years to come.”
Shaparia adds: “We are proud of our 48-year history in the Philippines and committed to growing in this increasingly important market. We look forward to [Siason] leading our franchise from strength to strength in the Philippines.”
