Standard Chartered has named Simon Kellaway as global head of sales, financing & securities services (FSS), according to a statement, effective today.
Based in Hong Kong, Kellaway will take on the new role in addition to his existing responsibilities as the FSS regional head for Greater China and Northeast Asia.
He reports to global head of FSS Margaret Harwood-Jones and global head of financial institution client coverage and global head of financial markets sales & structuring Sharad Desai.
Kellaway has 30 years of international banking experience and joined Standard Chartered in 2019. He has led several initiatives for the FSS business including the acquisition of Royal Bank of Canada Investor Services in Hong Kong.
FSS Established
FSS was created in 2020 following the combination of Standard Chartered’s securities services unit with the portfolio risk management unit in the financial markets business in an effort to achieve greater alignment of the bank’s prime business.
Today, the FSS business has a presence in 40 markets serving global custodians, broker-dealers as well as both international and local institutional investors.
