StanChart’s CFO Exits, Interim Replacement Named
UK-based Standard Chartered’s global finance chief has left to join an American alternatives asset management company.
Standard Chartered has appointed Peter Burrill as interim group chief financial officer (GCFO), according to a statement, effective immediately. He succeeds Diego De Giorgi, who will step down from his role as executive director and GCFO.
Burrill is currently group head, central finance and deputy chief financial officer at the bank. Prior to joining Standard Chartered in 2017, he was group controller and co-head of group finance at Deutsche Bank. He started his career at KPMG where he spent almost 20 years, including 10 years in the US, followed by 10 years in Germany. He is also chair of the SCB AG Supervisory Board, a position he has held since March 2025.
De Giorgi, who has more than 30 years of experience, has joined New York-based alternatives manager Apollo as a partner and head of EMEA.
