The stock of HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE:HSBC) closed at $52.17 losing 0.15% in Friday’s trading session. In an effort to revamp its North American global banking business, HSBC has brought on board three new investment bankers. The firm has been struggling financially and has also had numerous challenges with some of its workers. In some instances it was compelled to lay off some of them but it hopes that that the new move won’t be a disappointment considering that it assessed track records and other aspects regarding the new trio.

It was last December that Sarah Salih moved to the bank taking up her new role as managing director, head of the financial institutions group (FIG) for North America. Beforehand she worked at Deutsche Bank where she was working across debt capital markets and was also as head of the North American financial institutions corporate banking group.

She reports to co-heads of global banking, North America. These are Russell Julius and Lex Malas and she is based in New York.

December witnessed HSBC welcome Thad Davis to serve as the new managing director, head of healthcare, North America. While there he worked across investment banking where he emphasized the need for discipline among workers towards helping the company develop an edge over rivals.

Based in New York, Davis reports locally to head of corporate, Omar Abboud. Functionally, he reports to the global head of consumer and retail, Rajeev Sahney.

Jonathan Tretler in a recent interview expressed his uttermost satisfaction with taking up the assigned role of managing director, head of consumer and retail for North America.

A person following closely on the progress of the official stated, “At RBC, Tretler was most recently managing director in the global consumer and retail group. He has roughly 20 years of experience covering the food & beverage sector as an investment banker.”
