Zodia Custody's Julian Sawyer Steps Down as Standard Chartered Deal Advances

Julian Sawyer has stepped down from day-to-day leadership at Zodia Custody and moved into an adviser role. According to NS3.AI, Sawyer said the pending acquisition of Zodia's custody business by Standard Chartered created a natural point for the handover. Richard Clark will lead the custody business through its transition into Standard Chartered. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
