彭博报道，Patrick George被委任为资本市场和证券服务主管(head of markets and securities services)，作为汇控投行管理层改组的一部分，以精简决策流程。他取代Georges Elhedery，后者被提拔为汇丰财务总监。
Holder of a master’s degree in finance from Concordia University in Montreal in 1993, Patrick George founded FFA Private Bank, a Lebanese investment bank, a few months later. After being fully invested in it for two years, the banker was recruited by HSBC in 1996 as head of equities in emerging markets, bringing together countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Between 2008 and 2016, the latter served as the bank’s global head of equities, managing all sales, trading and financing activities. Patrick George was then promoted to head of stock markets in connection with the EMEA economic region, encompassing Europe, the Middle East and Africa. At the end of 2019, he then moved on to the position of Head of Bond Markets and Services (MSS) in Western Europe and North America.
