Liechtenstein-based private banking and wealth management group LGT Group has appointed Anchalee Bunsongsikul as Chief Executive Officer of LGT Securities (Thailand) Limited, reinforcing the firm’s expansion plans in Thailand and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

Anchalee Bunsongsikul brings more than 30 years of experience in international banking to the role. Most recently, she served as President and Chief Executive Officer, Thailand and Representative Offices, for Standard Chartered Bank, it says in the statement. Her background spans corporate banking, financial markets and client coverage, with extensive experience serving Thai clients and entrepreneurs.
Relationship-led Approach
«Thailand is an important market for us, one where we have built a strong market position through a consistent, relationship-led approach focused on serving Thai families and entrepreneurs,» said Henri Leimer, Chief Executive Officer of LGT Private Banking Asia Pacific.
Karn Karuhadej, Managing Director and Senior Market Adviser at LGT, said Anchalee’s leadership experience and market knowledge would help strengthen the firm’s franchise in Thailand and support further regional growth.
In addition to leading LGT Thailand, Anchalee will join the Executive Board Asia Pacific of LGT Private Banking.
Expanding in Asia
LGT has been expanding steadily across Asia since opening its first representative office in Hong Kong in 1986. The firm launched its Thailand wealth management business in 2019 and has since built a Bangkok-based team of relationship managers and investment consultants serving Thai clients.
Today, LGT operates across Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Australia, India and the Middle East, employing around 1,800 people in the Asia-Pacific region. The bank said it ranked as the sixth-largest private bank in the region in 2025, with USD 164 billion in assets under management at year-end.
