Diego De Giorgi exits to pursue external role; London-based Burrill takes charge
Standard Chartered has appointed Peter Burrill as interim group chief financial officer, replacing Diego De Giorgi with immediate effect, according to an exchange filing on Tuesday.
De Giorgi will step down as executive director and group CFO to pursue an external opportunity. Burrill, who will be based in London, will report to group chief executive Bill Winters. The bank said an announcement on the permanent appointment will be made in due course.
Burrill is currently group head, central finance and deputy chief financial officer at Standard Chartered, roles he has held since joining the bank in 2017. He has served in several senior finance leadership positions across the group.
Before joining Standard Chartered, Burrill was group controller and co-head of group finance at Deutsche Bank. He began his career at KPMG, spending nearly two decades with the professional services firm, including ten years in the United States and a further decade in Germany.
Burrill also chairs the supervisory board of SCB AG, a role he has held since March 2025, having joined the board in 2019.
Commenting on the interim appointment, Winters said Burrill brings deep experience and ensures continuity in the leadership of the group’s finance function. As a respected member of the global leadership team, he is well placed to maintain strategic focus and momentum during the transition.
Winters also thanked De Giorgi for his contribution as group CFO, including his role in executing the bank’s strategy, and wished him well for the future.

Angel One Q4 profit surges 83 per cent to Rs 320cr
year net profit dips 22 per cent to Rs 915cr as revenue softens slightly to Rs 5,137cr.
MUMBAI: Angel One has just earned its wings in style delivering a blockbuster Q4 that proves the brokerage giant is still flying high even in a cautious market. Standalone revenue from operations for the three months ended 31 March 2026 rose sharply to Rs 1,459cr, up from Rs 1,056cr a year ago. Total income stood at Rs 1,467cr. After all expenses, profit before tax came in at Rs 440cr, while net profit for the quarter surged 83 per cent to Rs 320cr (versus Rs 175cr last year). Basic EPS stood at Rs 3.52 and diluted at Rs 3.44.
For the full year ended 31 March 2026, revenue from operations was Rs 5,137cr compared with Rs 5,238cr in FY25. Total income reached Rs 5,152cr. Profit before tax was Rs 1,272cr, and net profit came in at Rs 915cr (down from Rs 1,172cr). Basic EPS was Rs 10.09 (from Rs 13.00) and diluted Rs 9.85 (from Rs 12.68).
Total comprehensive income for the quarter stood at Rs 321cr, while the full-year figure was Rs 913cr.
The strong quarterly performance reflects robust growth in interest income (Rs 455cr) and fees & commission (Rs 1,000cr), even as the full-year numbers moderated amid a softer overall environment. Finance costs rose to Rs 134cr in Q4 (full year Rs 437cr), while employee benefits stood at Rs 244cr for the quarter (full year Rs 1,067cr).
In a year when many brokers felt the pinch of muted market activity, Angel One has delivered a sparkling Q4 that shows its core broking engine is firing on all cylinders. With the books now closed on FY26, the Mumbai-based player has once again demonstrated that consistent execution and a sharp focus on retail participation continue to pay rich dividends in India’s booming capital markets.
