May 29 (Reuters) - Singapore-based manager and asset operator Keppel KPLM.SI said on Thursday it has appointed ex-DBS Group DBSM.SI CEO Piyush Gupta as its deputy chairman, effective July 1.

Gupta left DBS, Southeast Asia's largest lender by assets, in March this year after serving as CEO for around 15 years.

Before joining DBS, he was Citi's CEO for its Southeast Asia-Pacific division.

Gupta will also be appointed as a non-executive independent director of the board along with the deputy chairman role, in addition to other committee positions.

Following his appointment, Keppel's board will comprise nine directors, of whom seven are independent directors, the firm added in its statement.
