DBS Group Holdings has appointed veteran banker Paulus Sutisna as president director of DBS Indonesia, subject to regulatory approvals. He joins DBS from HSBC Indonesia, where he was previously head of client management for global banking and co-head of cash management. He will be a member of the DBS Group management committee.

 

Sutisna is a career banker, with over 25 years of banking experience, honed across a range of front and mid-office functions. While the bulk of his career was in customer-facing roles in corporate banking and transaction banking, he also had stints in credit and risk management functions. Prior to HSBC, Sutisna spent over 20 years in various functions in Citibank, including the role of managing director and head of the multinational franchise in Indonesia.

 

Indonesia is one of DBS’ six key markets, and an integral part of the bank’s Southeast Asia strategy. With 40 branches in Indonesia, DBS Indonesia has a growing franchise in the areas of trade finance, cash management, SME banking and wealth management.
