The seasoned finance professional is set to assume his role on April 1, 2024, pending the necessary regulatory approvals.

With an impressive career spanning over 20 years in the finance industry, Dino Siason brings a wealth of experience to lead Deutsche Bank's 1,500-strong platform in the Philippines.

His responsibilities will encompass overseeing the corporate banking and investment banking businesses, as well as managing one of the two key service hubs in the Asia Pacific region, which plays a crucial role in global back and middle office functions.

The appointment follows the retirement of Michael Chua, a banking industry stalwart with nearly three decades of service.

Under Chua's leadership, Deutsche Bank Philippines achieved significant revenue growth, executed landmark transactions, and garnered prestigious accolades, including Best Trade Finance Service Provider, Best Cash Management Service Provider for Corporates, Best Domestic Custodian, and Best in Treasury and Working Capital Multinational Company.

Expressing enthusiasm about the new appointment, Kaushik Shaparia, CEO Emerging Asia and Chief Country Officer of India, stated, "We are proud of our 48-year history in the Philippines and committed to growing in this increasingly important market. We’re delighted that our strong platform has attracted high-quality talent like Dino and look forward to him leading our franchise from strength to strength in the Philippines."

Burkhard Ziegenhorn, Head of Corporate Bank for Southeast Asia and Australia, echoed this sentiment, saying, "We have built many trusted and valued relationships here over past decades, and I am confident that Dino will significantly enhance and grow these over the years to come."

Deutsche Bank sees the Philippines as a pivotal player in its growth strategy across the ASEAN and broader APAC region.

With Dino Siason at the helm, the bank aims to continue its legacy of success, building on the strong foundation laid by his predecessor and steering the bank towards new heights in the dynamic Philippine market.
