HSBC appoints new leader in Wellington
HSBC has appointed Eddie Christian into the newly created role of head of southern for commercial banking, which will be responsible for HSBC’s corporate clients across the country and will also manage the commercial banking team in Wellington.

Christian has been working for HSBC in Qatar, where he was the country head of corporate client coverage.

HSBC head of commercial banking for New Zealand Rob Roughan said: “Eddie’s hire is a key component of our strategic decision to create a larger presence in Wellington to further improve our service to clients in the South Island and lower North Island.

“HSBC’s key competitive advantage is its ability to connect businesses globally via its international network, and Eddie’s local and international commercial banking experience make him well placed to facilitate the cross-border business requirements of corporates in New Zealand,” Roughan added.
