Standard Chartered has appointed Raza Jafree as global head of private client sales.

Jafree will lead a team under a new partnership between the bank’s corporate and investment banking ( CIB ) division and its wealth and retail banking ( WRB ) business to offer relevant CIB solutions to highly sophisticated single-family offices ( SFOs ) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals ( UHNWIs ) within the private bank, as well as SFOs and multi-family offices ( MFOs ) already managed by CIB. The new partnership aims to capture a growing market opportunity by capitalizing on the bank’s existing strong portfolio of private banking clients and the deep value proposition offered by its CIB business.
