StanChart makes three executive changes in Europe, Asia transaction banking business

(Reuters) – Asia-focussed lender Standard Chartered (StanChart) announced three senior executive changes in its transaction banking business on Tuesday.

Ankur Kanwar will lead StanChart’s transaction banking operations in Singapore and The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Kanwar will also continue in his existing roles as the global head of cash structured solutions development and the head of cash management for Singapore and ASEAN.

He takes over from Maisie Chong, who will continue as the global head of receivables purchase and head of trade and working capital for ASEAN and South Asia, the bank said.

StanChart said Marion Reuter will lead its transaction banking business in Europe and at the Frankfurt-based Standard Chartered Bank AG.

Reuter succeeds Karin Flinspach, who has decided to leave the bank. Reuter will continue in her role as the head of transaction banking corporate sales in Europe and will be based in Frankfurt.

Sofia Hammoucha, who joined the bank in 2022, has been appointed as the global head of trade and working capital as part of the transaction business management team, StanChart said.

She will be based in Singapore and replace Kai Fehr, who joined StanChart in 2020 and will now move back to Germany “to spend more time with his family”, StanChart said.
