AI tools to grow across 41 markets at Standard Chartered.
Standard Chartered has appointed David Hardoon as its global head of AI enablement, further embedding AI across its operations.
Based in Singapore, he will report to group chief data officer Mohammed Rahim.
Hardoon will lead AI governance and identify areas where AI can enhance productivity, efficiency, and client experiences. His appointment follows the bank’s recent rollout of a generative AI tool to over 70,000 employees across 41 markets.
The bank has been steadily introducing AI-driven tools, including a smart video column to provide insights for clients in Asia. It plans further expansion of its internal AI systems across additional regions.
With more than 20 years of experience in data and AI, including with Singapore’s central bank, Hardoon is expected to guide the responsible and strategic use of AI technologies across Standard Chartered’s global footprint.
