“Winning the Rising Star of the Year award from Asian Private Banker is a true honour. This recognition is not just about my efforts but also the incredible support from my colleagues, mentors and clients, who inspire me every day.
“In an industry driven by trust and innovation, I have learned that success comes from listening, adapting, and having a passion to succeed despite the headwinds. Being acknowledged among so many talented professionals humbles me and further strengthens my commitment to excellence. This recognition instills me to keep pushing boundaries, embracing challenges, and contributing meaningfully to the industry and community.
“Thank you to Asia Private Banker for this prestigious recognition. It motivates me to strive further, lead with purpose, and create a lasting impact in all that I do. My commitment, passion, and dedication to this industry will continue to drive me forward.”

“Lemuel Lee has emerged as an influential figure within BNP Paribas Wealth Management since he joined, yet in recent years, Lee has ascended his status to be a standout figure within the private wealth management industry,” said Carly Lau, senior reporter, Asian Private Banker.
“With a background primarily focused on investment-related products, Lee started his journey with BNP Paribas seven years ago, assuming responsibility for investment services within the region. By 2019, he assumed leadership of the Hong Kong wealth management market. Eventually, he expanded his scope to cover the entirety of the Hong Kong site for BNP Paribas Wealth Management by June 2023.
“Under Lee’s leadership, BNP Paribas Wealth Management in Hong Kong has grown substantially, positioning itself as a major private bank in the region. Despite facing macroeconomic challenges, Lee has successfully attracted net new assets, recruited seasoned bankers from competitors, and achieved record revenues. His accomplishments underscore his emergence as a rising star within the industry.
“Beyond his achievements at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, Lee holds a position as an executive member of the Hong Kong Private Wealth Management Association, actively contributing to the advocacy of Hong Kong as a key hub for wealth management. Moreover, he remains committed to philanthropy, channelling his enthusiasm towards supporting non-governmental organisations and mentoring the forthcoming generation of industry prospects.
