Standard Chartered Bank, a leading international banking group, recently announced the appointment of Mandy DeFilippo as the Chief Executive Officer of US and Americas after Steven Cranwell decided to step down from his role and leave the bank.

Mandy’s new role will be effective from March 14, 2025, after having relevant approvals. She will be responsible for advancing and executing the strategy of the bank in the Americas, reporting to Co-Head CIB and CEO of Europe & Americas & Middle East & Africa, Roberto Hoornweg.

“We are delighted to welcome Mandy to Standard Chartered,” said Roberto on Mandy’s appointment. “Her broad experience across financial markets, banking, and risk management will be hugely value-additive as we respond to an increasingly wide spectrum of needs among our US and Americas clients for financing, advisory, and risk intermediation.”

Expressing her gratitude, Mandy said, “I’m excited to join Standard Chartered and to contribute to the Bank’s continued growth in the Americas,” said Mandy. “I’m eager to bring my international experience to an organization with an unparalleled global network and passion for serving its clients, and I look forward to partnering with the Americas team to drive strategic growth and continued success in this important region for the Bank.”
