StanChart names new global M&A chief after current head Suckling goes on leave

SINGAPORE, April 24 (Reuters) - Standard Chartered (HKSE: 2888.HK - news) on Thursday named Tom Willett as its new global head of mergers and acquisitions from June 1 to replace current head Andrew Suckling, who is taking a 12-month sabbatical.

Willett joined Standard Chartered in 2012 as the bank's head of M&A for Europe from RBS (LSE: RBS.L - news) where he held senior positions such as chairman of corporate finance Europe, Middle East and Africa, the bank said in a statement.

David Harvey-Evers will take over from Willet as the new head of M&A Europe. (Reporting by Saeed Azhar)
