RBS makes two senior executive appointments for Asia units

Moves are latest senior-level changes.

State-owned Royal Bank of Scotland has appointed Brijesh Mehra as head of international banking for India and Southeast Asia.

It has also appointed Charly Madan as head of capital and portfolio management in Asia Pacific. Mehra and Madan assume their new portfolios immediately.

The move adds Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand to Mehra’s existing responsibility for international banking in India that comprises debt financing, transaction services and risk management.

Mehra has 26 years of wholesale banking experience in corporate finance, debt and structured debt and transaction banking. He has worked in India, Indonesia and Singapore in various corporate and investment banking roles.

Madan joined RBS in December 2012 from Bank of Ayudhya, where he was head of corporate banking and was also on the board of directors of its securities unit. He has more than 25 years of experience in corporate, retail and investment banking in Thailand and Vietnam.

The international banking business at RBS covers 10 countries in the region and globally contributes roughly 8% to the bank’s total income.
