The bulk of his professional career has been spent within the Agricultural Bank of China's Jiangsu provincial branch system, where he has developed extensive expertise in the region's banking operations.
Before his latest promotion, Chen served in a series of pivotal leadership roles across the bank network. After starting as a deputy general manager at the bank's Gusu sub-branch, he went on to lead various departments, including serving as general manager of the investment banking division at the Suzhou branch.
