Career Transition and HSBC's Growth
The guest's career journey highlights a significant transition, having started at SCB and later moving to Kamuraka, where she competed with SBB for 23 years. In 2020, she rejoined STB to oversee investor coverage and business development, which took a drastic turn when STB collapsed in March. Following this event, HSBC seized the opportunity to acquire STB's UK operations, bringing along many former employees and thereby quickly expanding its team in the innovation sector. This strategic acquisition positioned HSBC to effectively engage with startups and their financing needs in a time of market instability.
