The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) has appointed Andrew Tilke as the chief executive officer of HSBC Bangladesh, effective from today.
Tilke joined HSBC Group in 1983 and has worked in a variety of roles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, the bank said in a statement yesterday.
Since 2009, Tilke was based in Shanghai as a senior member of the executive team in China, undertaking the responsibilities of chief risk officer, HSBC Bank (China) Company Ltd.
Tilke is a member of the Institute of Financial Services of the UK.
He replaces Sanjay Prakash, who is moving to HSBC’s regional head office in Hong Kong as chief operating officer, for Asia Pacific commercial banking.
“I wish Andrew all the very best for his new assignment,” said Guy Harvey-Samuel, head of international HSBC Asia Pacific.
“Under his leadership, I am confident that HSBC Bangladesh will grow from strength to strength. I would also like to thank Sanjay for doing a phenomenal job in Bangladesh in a professional and resilient manner during his tenure.”
