This publication brings more news about moves in the global wealth management industry.

Africa-headquartered Standard Bank has appointed Jonathan Peake as chief financial officer responsible for finance and treasury teams across its offshore business in Jersey, Isle of Man and Mauritius.

Peake, promoted from head of risk, a position he has held since joining Standard Bank in July 2013, takes over from Will Thorp.

“Since joining us Jonathan has made a real difference in the risk role and I’ve no doubt that he is going to add further value in his new position as CFO. His ability to deal with complex situations in the challenging environments in which we operate will add significant strength to our leadership team,” Mark Hucker, chief executive of the offshore group at the bank, said.

Peake was previously at Deutsche Bank International where he held the position of head of risk management. Before this, he was with KPMG’s London forensic team where he gained extensive experience of investigating frauds and performing regulatory investigations and advisory work in the financial services sector.

The new Jersey-based appointment is subject to regulatory approval.
