Breaking News: HSBC Boss, Tucker, Announces Retirement
Steven Tucker, the 67-year-old Group Chairman of HSBC Holdings, has dropped a bombshell, declaring his plans to hang up his boots before the year ends. Tucker joined HSBC in October 2017, and while he prepares for his departure, he'll stick around as a strategic advisor to the CEO and the board.
In a heartfelt statement, Tucker expressed his gratitude for the faith and backing he received from the board, management, and coworkers. He's immensely proud of the achievements they've scored together.
"It's been a bloody awesome honor and privilege to pilot HSBC as chair," Tucker quipped, in the official filing. "I'm awfully grateful for the trust and support I've enjoyed from the board, management, and colleagues."
With the robust groundwork laid over the past eight-plus years, Tucker is confident that under the leadership of CEO Georges Elhedery, HSBC will keep crushing it. He sends his well-wishes to HSBC and all its stakeholders, anticipating continued success and prosperity.
HSBC's nomination and corporate governance committee has sprung into action, aiming to select Tucker's successor. The process is being spearheaded by Ann Godbehere, a senior independent non-executive director.
