Message from Bill Winters
“Our culture of inclusion remains a source of competitive differentiation for us. We are a global bank connecting corporate, institutional, and affluent clients to a network that offers unique access to sustainable growth opportunities across Asia, Africa and the Middle East. We best understand those connections by having the same richness of experience and background that our clients present to us. And it’s the right thing to do.”
