Langford will assume the role of head of marketing and communication at the newly combined RBS/ABN Amro entity, which is expected to see the rollout of a major rebranding initiative in Asia-Pacific.
Langford will lead communications for the RBS Group’s two main businesses in Asia: global markets, and retail/commercial, reporting to Asia-Pacific global banking and markets chief executive John McCormick, and global director of group communications Andrew McLaughlin.
Last year, RBS led Spain's Banco Santander SA and Fortis in the three-way, 72 billion-euro (US$113 billion) acquisition of Amsterdam-based ABN Amro. RBS keeps the Dutch bank’s investment-banking and Asian operations.
