Standard Chartered has appointed Manus Costello as its next group CFO, following the departure of Diego De Giorgi in February after nearly three years at the bank.
De Giorgi left Standard Chartered to join Apollo Global Management as head of the EMEA region
After his exit, the Asia- and Africa-focused bank appointed Peter Burrill as interim CFO in early February. The banking giant in a statement said Costello will initially take on the role of interim group CFO with immediate effect. He will also join the board as an executive director, subject to regulatory approvals.
He joined Standard Chartered in 2024 as global head of investor relations. The bank said he has 25 years of experience in equity research, including as a founding partner and global head of research at Autonomous. Costello will be based in London and report to group chief executive Bill Winters.
