Patricia Quek is not only a reputable private banker and leader but also a Zumba enthusiast, avid traveller, and influential industry voice who channels all her inspiration and motivation into excelling professionally.

With an impressive three decades of experience in UBS Global Wealth Management, Quek’s mantra is deeply client-focused and solutions-oriented.

From starting as a client advisor and country team head for Indonesia to now serving as the business sector head for Singapore and Malaysia, she brings extensive expertise in advising complex, multi-jurisdictional families, ultra high net worth individuals, global family offices, as well as private and publicly listed companies on a wide range of financial and intergenerational transition matters.

Given Singapore’s importance as a key UBS hub, Quek also serves on the senior management committee for UBS Singapore, playing a vital role in shaping business strategy, overseeing risk management, and ensuring robust governance.

Her daily mandate goes beyond traditional private banking. Quek is an active voice in wealth management development in the region. She wears multiple hats, including chairing the Private Banking and Family Office Industry Workgroup, which collaborates closely with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Institute of Banking and Finance, as well as serving as vice chairman of the Wealth Management Institute’s Global Family Office Council.

Building on her passion for community, Quek also chairs the UBS SymAsia IFC Fund and is a dedicated member of the community chest and a board member of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs. For Quek, making a meaningful impact means helping clients safeguard and grow their wealth, support family legacies, and build trust through long-term relationships.

Beyond her busy schedule, Quek is a Zumba enthusiast and avid traveller. “Zumba fuels my resilience, focus, and ability to collaborate harmoniously with others – essential traits in the dynamic world of banking. It keeps me grounded and energised, reminding me that joy and discipline can coexist,” she said.

Her love for travel sharpens her cultural awareness and empathy, allowing her to connect meaningfully with clients across borders and understand their diverse aspirations and values.

“At the heart of my journey is a deep belief in continuous learning and value creation – powered by the energy of Zumba, curiosity of travel, and the purpose of banking.”
