Career

Lin joined the Bank of China in 1987. In his early years, he was sent to work in Hong Kong and later worked at the Xiamen Branch. In October 2010, he was promoted to general manager at the Corporate Finance Headquarters of Bank of China, and held that office until May 2015, when he was appointed vice president of the BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited. In March 2018, he was promoted again to vice governor of the Bank of China, concurrently serving as chairman of the BOC International Holdings Limited, chairman of the BOC International Securities Limited, and non-executive director of the BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited.
