AMMB chairman Tan Sri Md Nor Yusof said he had the privilege of knowing Sulaiman since the time he first started his banking career at Bank of Commerce in 1987.
“I can attest to his considerable and wide experience over more than 35 years culminating in leading the AmBank Group. This is certainly a significant value he will bring to wherever he decides to offer his service next,” he said,
Ling, who’s full name is Ling Fou-Tsong @ Jamie Ling, is a chartered accountant aged 55.
Ling was the bank’s group chief financial officer from 2017 where he managed a full spectrum of AmBank Group’s finance, overseeing the group’s financial strategy and implementation.
AMMB said Ling’s in-depth commercial and financial experience covers key roles held in treasury, finance, risk management and sales in international banking institutions.
Ling’s career portfolio transcends across corporate, investment and retail banking, treasury, risk management and financial management, it added.
