In the role, Ang reports to Gregory Vandeler and will be responsible for overseeing Rabobank’s trade and commodity finance team in Singapore.

She will focus on “deepening strategic client engagement, expanding key partnerships and bringing product and sector specialists together” for Rabobank’s products, such as value chain financing and commodity risk hedging.

Ang will also be tasked with helping clients make their value chains more resilient and sustainable.  

She replaces Vandeler in the role, who is also general manager for Southeast Asia and has now taken on an expanded role as head of wholesale clients, Southeast Asia. 

Rabobank said the appointment “ensures dedicated senior leadership for Rabobank’s trade and commodity finance business in Southeast Asia”.

Ang has worked for Rabobank since 2004 and has more than 20 years of experience in trade and commodity finance, including expertise across the energy, metals and agribusiness sectors.

Vandeler said: “Li Huang brings deep sector knowledge, strong client connectivity and a proven track record across multiple commodity cycles. 

“Her appointment reflects Rabobank’s commitment to staying close to our clients, strengthening execution across our product platform, and continuing to invest in leadership that supports long-term partnerships and sustainable growth in Southeast Asia.”

Ang added that she looked forward to working closely with clients in a region that “plays a critical and growing role in global trade flows, particularly across food, agribusiness and energy‑linked commodities”.
