Short Bio / Excerpt:
Alice Suen is an eminent corporate banking executive, green finance specialist, and climate transition strategist who serves as the Managing Director and Head of Sustainable Finance and Transition for Hong Kong and Macau at HSBC. With a banking career spanning over two decades, Suen has firmly established herself as a central figure in Asia's rapidly transforming ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) landscape. Her professional trajectory is heavily defined by driving large-scale financial innovation, advising multi-tiered corporate client networks, and leveraging banking capital to catalyze regional carbon-neutrality initiatives.
Suen developed her deep institutional expertise through a series of senior frontline leadership and strategy roles within the commercial banking sector. Her early-to-mid career focused extensively on the Greater China economic ecosystem, where she managed complex commercial portfolios, client relationship networks, and cross-border trade mechanics. During this period, she undertook pivotal regional assignments in major economic corridors, operating directly within Shanghai and the Greater Bay Area (GBA). This extensive cross-border exposure gave her unique structural insights into supply chain vulnerabilities, emerging corporate governance trends, and the capital requirements of businesses operating across Mainland China and Hong Kong.
As global capital markets began aligning aggressively with climate objectives, Suen pivoted her core banking expertise entirely toward green and transition finance infrastructure. To anchor her strategic transition with world-class technical capabilities, she pursued extensive executive certifications from prestigious global institutions. Her specialized credentials include advanced certifications in Sustainable Finance from the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) and Global Sustainability Leadership from Imperial College Executive Education. She also holds the Associate Green Finance Professional designation from The Hong Kong Institute of Bankers and completed the specialized sustainable finance program co-delivered by the Hong Kong Green Finance Association and HKUST.
In her executive capacity as Managing Director at HSBC, Suen orchestrates the banking giant's broad sustainable finance agenda across Hong Kong and Macau's corporate banking ecosystems. She is tasked with matching the bank’s immense market footprint with actionable, climate-smart capital tools to support corporate transition pathways. Her team actively guides institutional, enterprise, and SME clients through the complexities of ESG disclosures, transition strategy formulation, and the procurement of specialized financial products. Under her leadership, the bank has pioneered innovative market mechanisms, such as the HSBC Sustainability Improvement Loan, which incentivizes businesses to meet verifiable sustainability performance metrics.
Beyond her internal executive mandates, Suen is heavily integrated into the public and civic governance of the regional green finance ecosystem. She contributes her technical expertise to major industry bodies, serving as a Vice President of the Hong Kong Green Finance Association (HKGFA), where she helps coordinate public-private dialogue and regulatory framework alignment. Additionally, she is a frequent speaker at major regional climate summits, including the annual ReThink HK conference, and dedicates her personal time to ESG-related community volunteering. Through these multi-faceted platforms, Suen continues to shape Hong Kong's positioning as Asia’s premier hub for green capital allocation and sustainable business transformation.
