Tim joined Standard Chartered Bank (the “Bank”) in May 2000 as Group Head of Human Resources (“HR”) and was appointed a Director of the Bank in December 2004.

Today, Tim is responsible for the Corporate Real Estate, Corporate Secretariat, Legal, Compliance & Assurance, Internal Audit and Global Research functions, collective known as Property, Research and Assurance (“PRA”). Together, these functions play a critical role in driving the Bank’s strategy of strong organic growth supplemented by selective acquisitions and ensuring exemplary standards of governance and ethics. Reflecting the need to build scalability and align activities to the Bank’s risk appetite, the operating and governance models of the assurance functions have been extensively refined, providing a robust control environment during a period of unprecedented growth at the Bank. This has also ensured the Bank has been in a strong position to address the increasing regulatory oversight of the financial sector in the UK and globally.

In addition to his PRA role, Tim is also Chairman of Standard Chartered Korea with responsibility for strategy, growth and governance in Korea. He is also accountable for the Bank’s environment programme and is the Chairman of the Bank’s Environment Committee.

He has a Bachelors degree in History and Economics, a Master of Letters degree and an MBA from the University of Stirling. In 2007, he completed a Doctorate in Business Administration from Nottingham Business School.

Outside the Bank, Tim is a Non-Executive Director of Michael Page International plc and Chairman of the Governing Body, School of Oriental & African Studies (“SOAS”).
