Michael Gorriz

Michael Gorriz, group chief information officer of Standard Chartered, arrived in Dhaka on Tuesday on his first official visit to the country.

During his daylong trip, he met senior government officials and leaders of the bank, the bank said in a statement yesterday.

Central to discussions was how technology is transforming the business landscape and how the bank can harness this to continue to aid Bangladesh's economic growth and the development of its financial sector.

“Michael's visit reiterates the group's sustained commitment to Bangladesh,” said Naser Ezaz Bijoy, chief executive officer of Standard Chartered Bangladesh.

Gorriz joined the bank as group chief information officer in 2015. He is responsible for banking operations, systems development and technology infrastructure, which underpins StanChart's client services, and defines and implements the bank's digital and innovation agenda.
