Wan Daneena

Deutsche Bank Malaysia has strengthened its board with two strategic appointments, underscoring the bank’s commitment to robust governance and its long-term presence in Malaysia.

Wan Daneena Liza binti Wan Abdul Rahman Rahman ( Wan Daneena ) has been named chairperson. She is the first woman to hold this role in the bank’s history in Malaysia.  A seasoned financial leader with more than 25 years’ experience across top-tier institutions, Wan Daneena brings deep expertise in audit quality, risk management and financial reporting.

A chartered accountant and former senior partner at Ernst & Young Malaysia, she currently serves on the boards of Plus Malaysia, S P Setia and Wasco – experience that will further reinforce Deutsche Bank Malaysia’s governance framework.

The bank also welcomed Yang Amat Mulia Tunku Seri Zain Al-‘Abidin ibni Tuanku Muhriz ( Tunku Zain ) to the bank’s board as an independent non-executive director. Tunku Zain, founding president of policy think-tank Ideas, adds broad public policy and governance expertise from his work with leading organizations, including the UK Houses of Parliament, World Bank and UNDP.

His board experience with Allianz Malaysia and leadership roles in the education sector bring a valuable, multidimensional perspective to the bank as it advances its strategic ambitions in Malaysia.
