Chief Executive Officer, HSBC Securities Services

Chris has nearly 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, holding senior positions in finance, operations, business management, product management, sales and relationship management, and strategic business growth.

Chris was Managing Director of Chase Manhattan Bank Luxembourg between 1994 and 2000, presiding over the rapid growth of the bank’s business during this period and laying the foundations for the J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg business which exists today. Chris left J.P. Morgan in 2005 to build a business in the UK supporting and distributing savings and investment service propositions for advised and execution-only retail clients.

In 2009/10 he built a mobile payments business in East Africa. Chris re-joined J.P. Morgan in 2011 and was appointed Managing Director of its Luxembourg bank once more. He joined Allfunds Bank International in May 2014, fulfilling an ambition to lead a business more aligned with the distribution aspects of the fund industry, but soon thereafter accepted an offer to return to the fund services sector as head of HSBC’s Securities and Fund Services business in Luxembourg.
