Standard Bank celebrates double win at Citywealth Awards
Two of Standard Bank’s fiduciary services professionals have been recognised at the Citywealth 2023 Future Leaders Awards. Anna-Marie Egré won the Trust Officer of the Year Award, and Sanmari Crous won the Future Leader Initiative Award.
Now in its ninth year, the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards champion young professionals in the wealth sector, recognising leaders under forty who are shaping the future. The programme’s philosophy is to support future leaders who not only excel at work, but who also make an important contribution to society.
This is the second consecutive win in this category for Anna-Marie, who also took gold at the 2022 awards. As a Trust Relationship Manager with more than 10 years’ experience, she is an integral member of Standard Bank’s International Fiduciary Services team, specialising in the administration of real estate portfolios.
“I feel truly honoured to have been recognised for this award,” says Anna-Marie. “Being part of such a dedicated team is a real privilege, and I am grateful to my colleagues for their support and encouragement. Success is a collaborative effort and it is very rewarding to work for a company that values and promotes professional development.”
Sanmari Crous took gold in for the Future Leader Initiative Award. A Business Development Manager in the trust team, she was also recently named a 2023 eprivateclient Channel Islands NextGen Leader. Sanmari is a South African qualified lawyer and Certified Financial Planner, and works with trust structures which have a South African nexus.
Commenting on her win, Sanmari said, “Being named as a Future Leader in this exciting and challenging industry is a great honour, particularly among so many accomplished professionals, and I would like to thank everyone who voted for me. I feel fortunate to be part of this fantastic team at Standard Bank and I am excited about what the future holds for us as a business.”
“It is wonderful that two valued members of our team have taken top honours at this year’s Citywealth Future Leaders Awards,” says Michael Giraud, Head of Standard Bank Fiduciary Services in Jersey. “Both Anna-Marie and Sanmari are passionate and talented individuals, and their contributions have been invaluable.
