😊 Kaur在2013年加入汇丰银行，担任内部审计主管，此前汇丰银行承认违反反洗钱和制裁法规，并与美国司法部达成延期起诉协议。她拥有近40年的银行从业经验，在审计、风险和合规方面拥有丰富的经验，此前曾在花旗集团和德意志银行担任合规和审计职务。

😄 Kaur接任新职务之际，正值利率下降以及包括中国和香港在内的主要市场的地缘政治紧张局势加剧。汇丰银行周二宣布对不同业务线和地区进行广泛重组，新任首席执行官Georges Elhedery正着手进行雄心勃勃的成本削减。据彭博社报道，汇丰银行需要削减20亿美元的成本，才能维持一项衡量银行利润的关键指标。

🥳 Kaur的薪酬将包括80.3万英镑（104万美元）的年基本工资、108.5万英镑的固定工资津贴和8.03万英镑的养老金津贴。她有资格获得酌情可变薪酬，包括不超过基本工资215%的年度激励奖金，以及不超过基本工资320%的长期激励奖金。

😮 此次任命使得Kaur成为欧洲银行界最资深的女性高管之一，她被认为是该职位的热门人选，其他候选人包括全球银行和市场主管Greg Guyett、集团战略和企业发展主管Willard McLane以及汇丰银行欧洲和西方市场首席财务官Kavita Mahtani。

🤩 Deloitte LLP合伙人Melissa Fung表示：“我们很高兴看到市场上越来越多的女性领导者，尤其是跨国金融机构。”“这也与香港交易所提出的《公司管治守则》中关于董事会多元化政策的增强相呼应。”

The 60-year-old brings a long focus on auditing, risks and compliance across almost four decades of banking career spanning various global lenders. She joined HSBC in April 2013 as internal audit head, coming aboard shortly after the bank admitted to anti-money laundering and sanctions violations and entered a deferred prosecution agreement with the US Justice department. Kaur, who was educated at Punjab University in India, takes on her new role at a challenging time as interest rates fall and amid geopolitical tensions in key markets, including China and Hong Kong. The bank on Tuesday unveiled a broad restructuring across different business lines and geographies as newly appointed Chief Executive Officer Georges Elhedery embarks on ambitious cost cuts.HSBC will have to find a way to shave off $2 billion in costs in order to sustain a key measure of the bank’s profits, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. “We had a strong bench of internal and external candidates to choose from and Pam was the exceptional candidate to recommend to the board,” said Elhedery, who was elevated from CFO, in a statement.Shares of HSBC slipped 0.4% at 1:03 p.m. in London.With the promotion, Kaur becomes one of the most senior women in banking across Europe. She had been seen as a front-runner for the role, ahead of other candidates including Greg Guyett, head of global banking and markets, Willard McLane, group head of strategy and corporate development, and Kavita Mahtani, the CFO of HSBC’s Europe and Western Markets, Bloomberg previously reported.Before joining HSBC, she also held compliance and audit roles at Citigroup Inc. and Deutsche Bank AG. Kaur has served on HSBC’s group executive committee for more than a decade and was named head of wholesale market and credit risk in 2019. Her remuneration as CFO will consist an annual base salary of £803,000 ($1.04 million), a fixed pay allowance of £1,085,000 and a pension allowance of £80,300.She’s eligible to be considered for discretionary variable pay that consists of an annual incentive award up to 215% of base salary, and a long-term incentive award up to 320% of base salary.“We are welcome to see more and more woman leadership in the market, especially for multi-national financial institutions,” said Melissa Fung, a partner at Deloitte LLP. “This also echoes with the enhancement of board diversity policy under the Corporate Governance Code suggested by HKEX.”(Updates share price in sixth paragraph.
