Sean Wallace

Sean Wallace, group head for origination and client coverage for Standard Chartered Bank, is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka today for a two-day official visit.

Venkataramanan Anantharaman, regional wholesale banking co-head for South Asia, and Vinod Aachi, global head for regional markets, will accompany Wallace.

They will meet regulators, clients and senior officials of the bank during the visit, StanChart said in a statement yesterday.

“Bangladesh is a core footprint market for the corporate banking business of Standard Chartered Bank. We have been here for more than a century," said Wallace.

"It is a matter of great pride that we have been able to bring world-class banking solutions to this market and grow with our global and local client base.”

Wallace is based in Singapore and is responsible for management of the bank's relationships with its corporate and institutional clients globally.

He joined Standard Chartered Bank in March 2008 as group head of corporate finance business. Prior to StanChart, Wallace had previously worked at JPMorgan.
