MAINBOARD-LISTED Yangzijiang Financial Holding : YF8 0% (YZJ Financial) general counsel Koh Boon Chiao will be leaving the organisation at the end of this year to “pursue other opportunities”, amid a slew of management changes in the company.
The 43-year-old will be leaving after one year and three months at YZJ Financial. His last day of service will be on Dec 31.
In the meantime, the company is in the process of searching for a new candidate to cover regulatory compliance matters in Singapore and will provide further updates in due course, it said in a bourse filing on Wednesday (Nov 1).
