OCBC appoints first-ever head of Group Data Office

MacDonald led the creation of the bank’s dedicated AI unit in 2018.

OCBC has named Donald MacDonald as its first-ever head of Group Data Office.

The newly created role will lead the bank’s data strategy and is tasked with establishing OCBC as a leading data-driven organisation in the region.

MacDonald has served as the acting head of the Group Data Office since June 2021. He will report directly to the Group Chief Operating Officer (COO) Lim Khiang Tong.

MacDonald spearheaded the creation and building of a dedicated artificial intelligence unit in 2018, with OCBC becoming the first bank in the region to do so.

He has over 30 years of experience in the data and analytics field in various global and tech companies and has worked for PwC Consulting and IBM.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
