Christos Papdopoulos, regional CEO Standard Chartered MENAP, said: “Standard Chartered has a strategic presence in Lebanon and we see good potential for us to continue supporting its economy. This appointment comes as part of our direction to develop Arab Nationals to lead the Bank’s businesses in the region. Dan brings a wealth of experience to the role which will be important both in terms of driving our on-shore business and further developing our network business.”
