Standard Chartered’s Peter Flavel and the Ironing Board
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009
Hats off to Peter Flavel in his all out efforts to build a private banking arm for Standard Chartered Bank. Sixteen branches in 3 years. Talk about focused.
The recent FT article states that hs is a “stickler for detail.” What stands out is his passion for the business.
“This is a relationship business,” he says. “You need people skills. When clients arrive in our offices, the concierge offers them a coffee. Our relationship managers know where their children are being educated.”
Private banking is truly a relationship business.
