Mark Dowie resurfaces at Standard Chartered

Standard Chartered has flown Mark Dowie in from the UK to head corporate finance for its wholesale banking business.

Dowie, who joined Standard Chartered earlier this month, will be based in Singapore and will join the wholesale banking management group. He will report to Mike Rees, who is chief executive officer of wholesale banking. Dowie takes over from Sean Wallace, who currently heads corporate finance alongside his role as group head of origination and client coverage. Wallace’s time will now be freed for him to focus exclusively on his origination responsibilities, said a Standard Chartered spokesperson.
