Chief Executive Officer Singapore / Southeast Asia

Write to me with a specific question and its context

A bank that lends to small traders is judged in the bad years, by whether it admitted the truth about its loans early.

Three kinds of message are useful to me. The first comes from a board chair or nominating committee thinking about a non-executive appointment that would begin after mid-2027. The second comes from an organiser planning a working session, rather than a panel, on credit cycles, deposit behaviour, scam prevention or the governance of family-controlled financial institutions. The third comes from the chief executive of another bank who wants to compare notes on a particular problem. In each case it helps me to know the organisation, the question, the time involved and any link to Kartadana or its shareholders. I am not open to executive search approaches, and while I remain a serving bank director I take no paid advisory work. I cannot comment on individual customers, supervisory matters or figures Kartadana has not published. A customer with a complaint, a loan request or a suspected scam will be helped fastest through the bank's service channels, which can act the same day. A first message should carry no confidential financial material.
