HSBC has appointed a new head of Global Banking in Australia.
The company announced this week it had appointed Hamish Kelly, in what represents an extension of his existing role as Head of the Financial Institutions Group in Australia.
Under the new role, Kelly will be responsible for leading the coverage of large corporate, multinational, financial and government clients within HSBC’s Global Banking and Markets business. He will remain based in Sydney and will report locally to HSBC Australia chief executive, Tony Cripps and regionally to HSBC Regional Head of Credit and Lending, Asia-Pacific, David Morton.
Kelly succeeds Chris Russell, who recently relocated to Auckland to become HSBC Chief Executive for New Zealand.
