Standard Chartered Bank has announced the appointments of Xie Wen as global head of business banking and Mohamed Keraine as global head of digital for its consumer, private and business banking (CPBB) business.
Both hires will report to CEO of the firm's CPBB business, Judy Hsu, when Keraine enters the role on 28 March and Wen begins on 1 April.
Based in China, Wen will be responsible for expanding business banking through partnerships while simplifying how Standard Chartered engages with clients through digital onboarding.
Prior to this, Wen held several senior positions during her 25 years with the bank, most recently as co-head of client coverage for commercial, corporate and institutional banking.
In this role, Wen commercialised future growth engines with various digital programmes and Fintech partnerships, including SCeChain in partnership with Linklogis, SCePay and SCeCollect.
Wen was also Country chief risk officer for Singapore and China before going on to head commercial banking in China in 2015, where she built a successful and fast-growing business.
Based in Singapore, Keraine will be responsible for delivering a digital agenda across CPBB.
Keraine joins Standard Chartered from ING, where he was most recently positioned as head of retail development for Asia. Here he built extensive industry knowledge in digital banking through launching the first digital bank in the Philippines and leading several strategic initiatives in Southeast Asia and China.
He held several positions since beginning at ING’s head office in Amsterdam in 2006, including product manager, innovation programme manager and head of business development for retail markets in Europe, Australia and Asia.
Commenting on the appointments, Hsu says: “As we increasingly shift how we service our clients to digital channels and scale business banking by acquiring SME clients digitally through partnerships, the deep expertise and extensive experiences of Mohamed and Xie Wen will be invaluable to Standard Chartered. This is an exciting time for us as we accelerate our digital transformation and I look forward to their leadership to take our business to greater heights.”
