HSBC Vietnam has appointed Tim Evans as its new chief executive officer (CEO), replacing Pham Hong Hai, who held the role for the last four and a half years.
Evans joined the HSBC Group 26 years ago. Before taking the helm at HSBC Vietnam, Evans served as HSBC’s regional head of Commercial Banking, International Markets in Asia Pacific, covering Bangladesh, Mauritius, New Zealand, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
He was formerly HSBC’s regional head of Middle Market Enterprises in Asia Pacific, where he covered 19 markets; regional head of Global Trade and Receivables Finance; and chief operating officer of HSBC’s Commercial Banking business in the Middle East and North Africa region, overseeing 10 countries.
“I am honored to have been appointed CEO of HSBC Vietnam at such a fascinating time in the country’s development,” noted Evans in a statement released today, September 16.
“As regional head of Commercial Banking, International Markets in Asia-Pacific, I have been closely monitoring Vietnam’s growth in recent years and I’m incredibly excited to be here alongside our dedicated and talented HSBC Vietnam team.
“I would like to congratulate Pham Hong Hai for the incredible impact he had during his time as CEO of HSBC Vietnam,” said Evans. “My commitment is to build on this platform for strong future growth and capitalise on HSBC’s position as Vietnam’s leading international bank, creating long-term value for our people and customers.”
Pham Hong Hai will join HSBC Canada as country head of International Subsidiary Banking starting from September 16. In this role, Hai will stay connected with Asia and support HSBC’s Asia-North America trade and investment corridor.
