What does it take to lead Southeast Asia’s largest bank in an age of disruption? Nicolai Tangen sits down in Singapore with Tan Su Shan, CEO of DBS, to talk about banking’s digital future, the Singapore success story, and what leadership means in turbulent times. Su Shan explains how the bank is harnessing AI, building resilience amid geopolitical fractures, and staying true to its development roots. She also shares candid reflections on her own journey—why she once chose to “demote” herself for the sake of impact, how reverse mentoring keeps her fresh, and why curiosity, resilience, and empathy are at the heart of her leadership style. (And don’t miss the twist at the end—when Su Shan turns the tables with a few questions of her own for Nicolai. Tune in!)
