Hankinson began working with HSBC in 2001 and has since held top positions across the Finance department in Asia and the UK, overseeing the region and directing large change efforts.

We look forward to him joining our Canadian business and leadership team as we build on our very strong results in Canada and as part of the Americas region,” said Linda Seymour, President and CEO, HSBC Bank Canada.
“Our thanks to Gerhardt for his leadership over the last four years. His customer focus was especially important as we invested in growing our business and building the digital tools our customers are increasingly asking for. He was a valued member of our Executive Committee. I’d also like to thank Kevin for stepping in as Acting CFO over the last several weeks.”
