HSBC gets new chief executive

Francois de Maricourt

Francois de Maricourt has been appointed chief executive officer of HSBC Bangladesh, effective from today, the bank said in a statement.
The appointment remains subject to regulatory approval, it said.
Maricourt joined the HSBC Group in 1994 and has since held a number of senior roles across diverse geographies including Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Prior to joining HSBC in Bangladesh, he was chief executive officer of the corporation in Lebanon, it said.
Maricourt replaces Andrew Tilke, who will now take up as head of wholesale credit and market risk for Asia Pacific, based in Hong Kong. Tilke joined HSBC Bangladesh in 2012.

“We are delighted to appoint Maricourt 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,” said Jayant Rikhye, head of international Asia Pacific and head of strategy and planning Asia Pacific at HSBC.
“This experience will be invaluable as we continue to support our customers in the country to do business both within Bangladesh and internationally.”
