Damien Pang just announced on LinkedIn that he is departing from his position as Deputy Chief FinTech Officer and joining the Monetary Authority of Singapore as Chief Information Security Officer.
Damien further added, “It has been an exciting 9 years and 3 months since the start of the FinTech and Innovation Group in August 2015 to be on the front line of developing our vibrant global FinTech hub, as well as advancing technology and innovation adoption in our broader financial industry.”
Despite the difficulties caused by the epidemic, Damien has participated in a number of forward-thinking projects and programs that are time-fortuitous, such as digital KYC utilizing MyInfo and e-Payment. Regulatory sandboxes, blockchain/DLT through Project Ubin, financial well-being through SGFinDex, Healthcare-Insurance Industry Pilot (HIIP), AI/GenAI through AI Collider, and quantum computing and security are just a few examples of how he has pushed the boundaries throughout his career to benefit the financial sector.
Damien spent about two and a half years as the Vice President of the (ISC)2 Singapore Chapter before establishing his legacy at MAS. He had previously spent more than 11 years working for the Defense Science and Technology Agency.
Having been a part of the fintech journey for more than 9 years, Damien stated it’s time to step up to strengthen the cyber resilience of MAS and said, “As we advanced much on the innovation and digitalization front across the industry, it is timely for me to step away and contribute in my small part to step up and strengthen the cyber resilience of MAS even as we forge ahead on our own digitalization with technology horizontals around cloud, enterprise architecture, data, and data science for a leading digital central bank, regulator, and developer of the financial industry. I look forward to continuing to work closely with our financial and technology communities, albeit in a different capacity.”
