    SINGAPORE, November 20, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Philip J.K. Koh, General Manager and Country Head of Bank Mandiri, has been named a Worldwide Branding Professional of the Year in Finance. While inclusion in Worldwide Branding is an honor, only a small selection of members in each discipline are chosen for this distinction. These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, years of service, and the credentials they have provided in association with their Worldwide Branding membership.

Mr. Koh has 30 years of professional experience, with four years as the general manager and country head of VTB Bank in PRC and over the past three years as the general manager and country head of Bank Mandiri. Throughout his career, he has established himself as an expert in corporate and investment banking, as well as mergers and acquisitions, business development and strategy, commercial banking, financial institutions, structured finance, capital market, equities and corporate finance. His unit was voted "The Thailand Finance House of the Year" by IFR in 1996. On a daily basis, he is responsible for covering various aspects of banking including general management, corporate banking, trade finance, corporate advisory services and auditing.

Mr. Koh's willingness and desire to venture to the roads less traveled by going to countries that are not covered well for emerging markets is what separates him.

Looking back, Mr. Koh attributes his success to his interpersonal communication skills, which allow him to build successful relationships. He became involved in his profession through a natural progression of events. Mr. Koh received a Bachelor of Commerce in accounting, as well as a diploma in banking and finance. In addition to his educational qualifications, he is a Certified Public Accountant. Mr. Koh is also a council member of The Association of Banks in Singapore. In five years, Mr. Koh intends to experience continued growth.
