HSBC appoints new CEO in BD

The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited Tuesday announced the appointment of Francois de Maricourt as the new Chief Executive Officer of its Bangladesh operations, with effect from today (Wednesday) (subject to regulatory approval).
Francois joined the HSBC Group in 1994 and has since held a number of senior roles across diverse geographies including Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and Africa. Prior to joining HSBC in Bangladesh, Francois was the Chief Executive Officer of HSBC in Lebanon. 
Francois replaces Andrew Tilke, who will now take up a new role as Head of Wholesale Credit and Market Risk, Asia Pacific, based in Hong Kong. Andrew joined HSBC Bangladesh in 2012.
Commenting on the appointment, Jayant Rikhye, Head of International Asia Pacific and Head of Strategy and Planning Asia Pacific, HSBC, said: "We are delighted to appoint Francois to the role of CEO for HSBC in Bangladesh. He brings with him more than 20 years of banking experience and has led teams in many parts of the world, often with a focus on Commercial Banking -- an important business for HSBC Bangladesh, according to a statement.
This experience will be invaluable as we continue to support our customers in the country to do business both within Bangladesh and internationally. I would also like to thank Andrew for his significant contribution to the strong growth of our Bangladesh business during his time there. I wish both Francois and Andrew every success in their new roles."
