Leighton started his career at Midland Bank in the mid 1980s working on the forward FX and specialised trading and research desks. From Midland he went to Chase (later JPMorgan Chase) and rose to become global head of options and commodities. He retired temporarily in only to return to the City in 2004 to run foreign exchange at StanChart. In 2009 Leighton was given the additional role of head of fixed income for Europe.
Under Leighton StanChart’s performance has been steady rather than spectacular.
