DBS Group Holdings (DBSH) has appointed banking and property stalwart Olivier Lim, 53, to the Boards of DBS Group Holdings and DBS Bank. His extensive experience in corporate and investment banking, risk management and real estate will complement and strengthen the overall composition of the DBS Boards.

Between 2003 and 2014, Lim served in CapitaLand Limited’s senior management team in various capacities, including as group deputy chief executive officer, group chief investment officer and group chief financial officer.
