Mr. Nitiphong will assume overall leadership of the Thailand and GMS Representative Offices and will continue to work closely with the Corporate & Investment Banking Coverage team, providing leadership and continuity across the business. An announcement of the permanent successor will follow in due course.
Mr. Nitiphong joined the Bank in 2013 as Head, Local Corporates, and was appointed Head, Commercial Banking in June 2017. In August 2019, he took on the role of Chief Operations Officer and Head, Global Subsidiaries, drawing on his broad client network and deep understanding of the end-to-end client journey. Before joining Standard Chartered, he built extensive experience across both international and local banks, as well as in other industries.
Patrick Lee, CEO, Singapore and ASEAN, said, "Thailand's vibrant and dynamic economy is a core part of the ASEAN region, and we remain optimistic about its long-term prospects. Over the past 132 years, our Thailand franchise has evolved in line with our network and cross-border strategy, strengthening our position as a leading international bank in the country. I look forward to the Bank's continued success in Thailand under Khun Nitiphong's leadership."
