How Standard Chartered rebuilt after crisis: CEO Bill Winters on leading the turnaround


Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters reflects on leading the bank through one of its most challenging periods — and how he is positioning it for the future of finance across Asia and beyond.

When Bill Winters took over Standard Chartered in 2015, the bank was facing mounting pressure from bad loans, regulatory scrutiny and declining investor confidence. 

In this episode of “Managing Asia,” Winters reflects on the decisions that reshaped the bank, the challenges of leading through crisis and whether he pushed the turnaround too far. 

He also shares how Standard Chartered is positioning itself for the future of finance across Asia and beyond — from digital assets to shifting global dynamics.
