DBS has appointed Kelvin Wong as its new Chief Sustainability Officer, effective 11 May 2026.
Wong succeeds Helge Muenkel, who is leaving the bank to relocate overseas after leading the bank’s sustainability agenda since 2022.
Wong currently serves as Managing Director and Head of Energy, Renewables and Infrastructure within the Institutional Banking Group at DBS.
Since joining the bank in 2016, he has played a central role in advising on and arranging sustainable finance, carbon credits, and renewable energy transactions across the Asia Pacific region.
Prior to his tenure at DBS, Wong held senior leadership positions at Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Standard Chartered Bank, specialising in project, acquisition, and leveraged finance.
Tan Su Shan, CEO of DBS, said:
“With over 20 years of experience in energy, policy regulation and financing, Kelvin is well placed to advance DBS’ sustainability agenda with our clients and communities.
We also extend our deep thanks to Helge for his invaluable contributions to DBS’ sustainability journey and wish him every success ahead.”
