HSBC's Europe and Americas banking head Keefe departs

By Selena Li

HONG KONG, ‌April 14 (Reuters) - ​HSBC's ​head of banking in Europe and the Americas Gerry Keefe has ‌resigned, becoming the latest senior banker ⁠to depart since the bank's global overhaul launched ‌in 2024.

The bank announced ‌the news on Tuesday, according to an internal memo reviewed by Reuters and confirmed ​by a company spokesperson.

Jo Miyake, head of Asia and the Middle East ⁠banking, was named to take on Keefe’s role on an ​interim basis, the bank spokesperson said.

Keefe was appointed to the role of ​overseeing the bank's commercial and ‌investment banking operations in the two regions about a year ago.

HSBC ⁠in a major restructuring to pivot to Asia, wound down its mergers and acquisition, ⁠and some equities businesses in the Americas and Europe ​in early 2025.

Keefe, who joined HSBC from Citigroup in 2021 as head of banking for Americas, was ‌among the high-profile bankers the European bank hired to try to ‌boost its U.S. dealmaking.

Last September, HSBC's ⁠former head of ‌U.S. banking Lisa ​McGeough left to join rival Deutsche Bank.
