Progressive growth, and how Asian regional businesses are building scale
Leong Yung Chee, Group Chief Financial Officer, UOB

What does progressive growth look like, and what can major regional players teach multinationals? The Global CFO Network will be joined by UOB Group Chief Financial Officer Leong Yung Chee for a discussion on what he’s seeing in the Asia Pacific region, and how his Finance team is positioning the bank to grasp the oppoetunities it sees across Asia. Yung Chee joined UOB, one of Singapore’s biggest banks, with total assets of SGD572 billion, in 2016, and led the Corporate Banking division before stepping into the CFO role in 2025. He brings more than 25 years of experience in financial services, including leadership roles in corporate and investment banking, mergers and acquisitions, strategic transformation, and restructuring. We’ve asked Yung Chee to outline how he sees Asia as a market, and where the opportunities lie. He will also discuss how the Finance function is structured at UOB, how roles are evolving, and where the real pressure points sit. We will look at how UOB is building capability in data and analytics, how Finance partners with the business, and how the function is being reshaped to deliver greater insight.

Additional sessions to be advised.

This session will incorporate morning tea and an informal networking luncheon. Members may attend with a member of their Finance team.
