“We are thrilled to welcome Tara back to the US,” said Roberts. “As we strengthen our focus on international wealth management, her expertise in multiple markets around the world, particularly in Asia, will help improve our connectivity to a key HSBC region so that we can better serve our clients.”

Latini’s appointment follows the recent announcement of Michael Roberts as the CEO, US and Americas, effective April 5. His responsibilities have extended to take on the regional leadership of HSBC’s businesses in Canada and Latin America, in addition to the US business. He will continue to report to HSBC Group CEO Noel Quinn and remain a member of the Group Executive Committee.
To align with the new regional structure, Juan Parma was named the Regional Head of WPB Americas.
