AHS Annual Fall Luncheon 2023

Soaring Assets, Digitization and Scams – Insights into Banking in Singapore -LIVE FROM SINGAPORE!

AHS Annual Fall Luncheon

Asia Hands Society held its annual fall luncheon on Thursday, October 28 at the Darbar Grill in mid-town Manhattan. Our guest speaker was Peter Wodtke, who has been an Old Asia Hand since 2000. Peter started his banking career with Citibank in Hong Kong, moved on to head Citibank in the Middle East and Iran, and completed his banking career as the senior officer for USA and Canada for Swiss Bank Corporation, now part of UBS AG. After his distinguished banking career Peter served on 45 corporate boards in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Asia Hands members may recall Private Investment Company for Asia (PICA), based in Tokyo and Singapore, where Peter was CEO from 1972 to 1976.

Peter addressed a range of issues that we face around the world, and provided keen insights on potential solutions. We encourage those who were not able to attend to watch Peter’s informative presentation: https://vimeo.com/651133577/073628d654
