Hans Sicat

Country Manager and Managing Director, ING Bank NV

 

One of the most respected figures in today’s Philippine economic landscape, former president and CEO of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Hans Sicat always sets his eyes towards the future.

It seemed that it was fate that brought Hans to the global financial institution ING Bank NV. Not only is the esteemed company of Dutch origin, his full name Hans Brinker was also taken by his mother from the classic Dutch novel Silver Skates. Born in Boston and raised in the Philippines, Hans earned his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Master of Arts in Economics at the University of the Philippines. He then finished a PhD in Economics at the University of Pennsylvania and was conferred an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Business Administration by the Western University of Thailand.

Before he became part of the board of directors of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), he worked with international firms such as Citicorp International in the early 1990s, Salomon Smith Barney Asia Pacific during the latter half of the decade, and Citigroup (formerly Citicorp) in the early 2000s. From 2011 to 2017, he served as PSE’s President and CEO, making him the longest person to hold such a position in the country’s sole stock exchange. Prior to that, he was the chairman and independent director of the said company since 2009.

Currently, Hans serves as the acting chairman of the Legispro Corporation, a knowledge process outsourcing company, that was founded by his father-in-law, the late associate justice of the Supreme Court Florentino Panlilio Feliciano. Hans is also the country head and managing director since 2017 of the award-winning ING Bank NV, a multinational bank of Dutch roots that first made its local presence in 1990 and now one of the few and trusted digital banks in the country that is revolutionising our financial landscape through its technology.
