Antony, an Australian, has 30 years of banking experience across domestic and international banks with over 19 years in HSBC. Over the years, Antony has played a significant role in Markets & Securities Services (MSS) where he leads the Institutional Sales for Asia Pacific and the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey (MENAT) regions as well as driving growth as its Global Head of Wealth. Before joining HSBC, Antony worked in the investment banking sector in London and Sydney.
The appointment comes at a time of transition for Australia including a rise in the nation’s personal wealth and cost of living; increased international commercial and investment activity from border re-openings; and an increase in the nation’s global commitments to climate change. HSBC’s strategy is to help its customers connect to these changes and turn them into opportunities.
HSBC Asia Pacific Co-CEO Surendra Rosha commented: “Australia’s economic success has always been underpinned by its international openness. As Australia’s global connections continue to evolve and shift, Antony’s widespread experience will ensure our international network remains optimised to help our Australian customers manage this change and sustainably prosper.”
Antony Shaw has been appointed CEO of HSBC Australia with effect from 1 September 2022
Antony’s appointment follows a decision by Kaber Mclean (who joined HSBC Australia as its CEO in March 2020) to take a six-month sabbatical from 31 August, 2022.
Rosha continued: “Kaber has been laser-focused in identifying where and how we can best support our Australian clients, and in ensuring we had the right people, investment and capability in place to execute upon it. With the world re-opening, we supported Kaber’s decision to set aside time to re-connect with family and friends abroad. We will be welcoming his return into another role, within the Group, in the new year.”
