Standard Chartered Names Peter Burrill Interim Group CFO After De Giorgi Exit

Standard Chartered ( (GB:STAN) ) has provided an announcement.

Standard Chartered has appointed Peter Burrill as interim Group Chief Financial Officer, following the immediate departure of Diego De Giorgi, who is leaving to pursue an external opportunity. Burrill, currently Group Head of Central Finance and Deputy CFO, will be based in London, report directly to Chief Executive Bill Winters and is expected to provide continuity to the finance function while the board searches for a permanent CFO.
