This leadership transition ensures continuity while positioning RHB Singapore for long-term success in an increasingly dynamic financial landscape, with a strategic focus on regionalisation, particularly strengthening the Singapore–Malaysia (SG-MY) corridor.
Goh, who previously served as Deputy CEO of RHB Singapore, succeeds Danny Quah. With over 20 years of experience in investment banking and financial services sector, Goh has been instrumental in driving RHB Singapore’s growth since joining in 2016. His leadership has strengthened the corporate and investment banking business, enhanced operational efficiencies, and deepened client relationships. As CEO, Goh will focus on advancing digital capabilities, delivering innovative financial solutions, and strengthening RHB Singapore’s footprint across priority segments. Goh graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Engineering (Cum Laude) and a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Goh expressed enthusiasm about his new role, stating, “I am honoured to lead RHB Singapore and build on the strong foundation laid by Danny and the team. Our priority remains deepening client engagement, accelerating digital transformation, and expanding our offerings to meet customers’ evolving needs. Backed by a clear strategy and an exceptional team, we are well-positioned to chart the next phase of growth and reinforce our standing as a leading financial institution in the region.”
Danny Quah, who has served as CEO and Country Head since 2019, will take on a broader leadership role as Managing Director, Group International Business (GIB). In this capacity, he will lead RHB Banking Group’s international expansion, focusing on deepening the Group’s presence in high-potential markets across the region, which includes Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and Brunei.
With over three decades of banking experience, including over a decade in senior leadership roles such as CEOs and Country Heads, Quah has strengthened RHB Singapore’s market position, improved profitability, and enhanced cross-border collaborations.

With Ken-Yi at the helm, I am confident that RHB Singapore will continue to deliver lasting value for our clients.”
Building on RHB’s position as a leading financial services provider, this leadership transition is strategically aligned with the Group’s new corporate strategy – PROGRESS27, which aims to become the Best Service Bank, drive High Profitability and uphold its commitment as a Responsible and Purposeful financial institution.
