A couple of decades ago, companies were expanding into India in droves. More recently, China has been a hot spot for global expansion. Some say it's now Africa's turn. Regardless of which geography a company is considering, if it's looking to move into a region that is unfamiliar, it is going to rely on its treasury and finance team to step up.

As head of corporate banking for Standard Bank in North America, Chiaviello has a clear view of African markets.
