            Peter Sands, Chief Executive of Standard Chartered
Sporting a Swatch watch and with the donnish air of a professor, Peter Sands is an unlikely banker. A paid-up member of the frequent flyer’s club, the 48-year-old chief executive of Standard Chartered is one of the few bankers to have made it through the crisis with his reputation intact.
Unlike rivals who were pilloried for recklessly driving their banks into the hands of the taxpayers , Sands is at the helm of a London-based emerging markets bank, which has enjoyed seven consecutive years of record profits. With his white hair and Alistair Darling-style black eyebrows, he also helped stave off the collapse of the UK’s high street banks in October 2008 by devising a scheme that led to the injection of taxpayers’ funds into Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS and Lloyds.
Some of the secret meetings during the frantic weeks in the autumn 2008 took place in the Cit-y offices of Standard Chartered. Sands was also a co-host at the world Economic Forum in Davos this year and speculation in the City is that he is on track for a bigger office—at the Bank of England or as a regulator.
But as he sits back on the sofa in his bright corner room, Sand’s mind is on Standard Chartered , as he admits another crisis could be on the way. [br] Standard Chartered has been profitable for seven years in a steady manner.
