MUFG Names June Raj as Managing Director and Head of Aviation Asia-Pacific

MUFG Bank has appointed June Raj as managing director & head of origination, Asia Pacific Aviation. Raj will be responsible for growing the bank's aviation financing portfolio in the region. She will be based in Singapore.

Richard Yorke, Executive Officer and Head of Global Corporate & Investment Banking for Asia Pacific, said: "COVID-19 has exacted a heavy toll on society and industry, especially in sectors like aviation. June's arrival at MUFG marks an important turning point for the bank as we accelerate the build-out of our best-in-class regional team to help clients ride the tailwinds of the post-pandemic global recovery. With June's wealth of experience in client delivery, technical expertise and network of relationships, I am confident she will further differentiate MUFG as a market leader in the aviation sector in Asia."

June has over 20 years of business development and origination & distribution experience in the aviation and transportation sectors and will help deepen MUFG's foothold in Asian aviation and better position the bank to capitalise on the much-anticipated recovery in the sector as borders re-open globally, while enhancing connections between regional industry clients and MUFG's worldwide network.
