HONG KONG, April 23 (Reuters) - UBS UBSG.S has hired Chinese banker Fan Yang to be its chair of global banking for Asia, according to an internal memo of the Swiss bank.
Yang, who joined UBS from China Merchants Securities International where she was chief executive officer since 2013, will start her role in early May and continue to be based in Hong Kong, the memo said.
She will report to David Chin, the bank's head of investment banking, Asia Pacific and China country head, said a person familiar with the matter who declined to be identified as he was not authorised to speak to the media.
A UBS spokesman confirmed the content of the memo and Yang's reporting line.
