HSBC makes history with first female CFO appointment

Athira Sethu

Kochi, 23 October 2024

HSBC Holdings has appointed Pam Kaur as its first female Chief Financial Officer. The effective date for this change is January 1, 2025, the company said. Kaur assumes the position left vacant by Georges Elhedery, who recently became the CEO of the company this year. In the context of the appointment, HSBC also revealed its plan to collapse operations into four lines of business.

The bank is to be restructured into four business groups, namely, Hong Kong, UK, Corporate and Institutional Banking, and International Wealth and Premier Banking. The purpose for such a structure is to function the bank in a more streamlined and efficient manner. Another restructural change will include the integration of HSBC’s Commercial Banking across the world, excluding the UK and Hong Kong, with Global Banking and Markets functions.

This structure will make the bank a much simpler and dynamic organization, as commented by Elhedery. Nothing will change in the focus on strategic priorities but will rather operate under it in executing the activities of the new bank.

Pamela Kaur has been with HSBC since 2013 when she joined as Chief Risk and Compliance Officer. Prior to this, Pamela Kaur has some CFO experience. To be specific, she possessed a 30-year banking experience that covered most of her tenure in senior roles in significant banks including Citigroup and Deutsche Bank. This brings Kaur compliance and auditing exposure that will no doubt make her a stalwart candidate for the CFO role.

Elhedery was optimistic towards Kaur’s appointment and stated that “with many eligible candidates to choose from, there was absolutely no doubt that Kaur emerged as the best fit for this position”. Jon Bingham, interim Group CFO, will also move on to assume his previous position in the company, Global Financial Controller.

Indeed, Kaur’s appointment with HSBC represents continuity but has simultaneously focused on the growth prospect. At a time when there are rising geopolitical tensions and an end to interest rate hikes that could affect the banking industry.
