Former head of distribution at Standard Life Chris Devito will head the life company’s first office in Dubai, according to reports.

The Scotsman reported that Devito (pictured), now a regional chief execuitve, will head a branch of Standard Life International in Dubai.

Devito will oversee the Dubai development, which the firm said was part of its strategy to broaden its push into ‘high-growth, high value’ emerging markets.

This follows its move into Singapore last month, with plans to quadruple its Asian business over the next five years.
