HSBC announced the appointment of Pam Kaur as its first female finance chief, taking over from interim CFO Jon Bingham effective January 1. This move comes as part of a major restructuring plan that includes the consolidation of business units and a new geographic setup. The bank also revealed plans to streamline its operations into four divisions: Hong Kong, U.K., international wealth and premier banking, and corporate and institutional banking. This reorganization aims to simplify the organization and drive growth in the next phase. HSBC’s largest shareholder, Ping An, had previously pushed for the spinoff of the bank’s Asian business, which was ultimately rejected. The bank is set to report its third-quarter results on October 29, following a strong first half of the year with estimates-beating profit. Shares of HSBC have seen a 6.28% increase year to date.
