Standard Chartered has announced the appointment of Roel Louwhoff as chief technology, operations and transformation officer.
Based in Singapore, Louwhoff will lead the company’s transformation, operations and technology agenda from 1 April 2022.
The announcement follows the current group chief operating officer David Whiteing’s decision to leave the Bank and relocate back to Australia.
Joining the Bank in November 2021 as group chief digital, technology and innovation officer, Louwhoff has led technology, innovation and operations in his previous roles and is positioned to drive the bank’s transformation to achieve greater alignment, efficiency, and client-focus.
Prior to joining Standard Chartered, Louwhoff was chief operations officer and chief transformation officer at ING’s Amsterdam office during his seven years with the company.
He also held several senior positions at BT between 2004 and 2013, most recently as CEO sports technology.
Speaking on the announcement, Bill Winters, group CEO, says: “With David’s departure, I have decided to combine our operations and technology teams to enable us to move faster, harness synergies, and accelerate the delivery of our strategy and transformation across the bank. I have asked Roel to lead us in turbocharging this change, and we thank David for his leadership in establishing a strong foundation, from which we will now build.”
Louwhoff adds: “I see massive opportunities for the bank to transform as a client-focused, purpose-driven organisation, delivering a seamless end-to-end client experience and doing things more efficiently. By bringing technology and operations together, we are taking a further step towards executional certainty of the bank’s strategy.”
