BNP Paribas poaches HY bankers from StanChart
Yung Tan, the former director and head of Northeast Asia and Greater China high yield product group at Standard Chartered, joined BNP Paribas last week as the head of North Asia high yield capital markets at a managing director level.
Tan, who left Standard Chartered in April, will continue to be based in Hong Kong, confirmed sources with knowledge of the appointment. He reports to Sameer Sopori, a managing director and the head of high yield capital markets, Asia Pacific. He is based in Singapore.
Sopori assumed his own role at BNP Paribas in November. He also previously worked for Standard Chartered, as its global head of the high yield product group, where Tan reported to him.
In addition, Shu Duan, who was an associate director in Standard Chartered's Northeast Asia and Greater China high yield product group reporting to Tan, also left the bank prior to Tan. He also joined BNP in early June, focusing on high yield and private debt financing in his new role.
A representative from BNP Paribas declined to comment and Tan could not be reached for comment.
