The chief executive of HSBC, Noel Quinn, is unexpectedly stepping down after an “intense” five years in the role, as the bank reported better-than-expected profits.
Europe’s largest bank has kicked off a search for a successor and said Quinn, 62, will stay in the post until a new chief executive is found. It is looking at both internal and external candidates. Quinn is an HSBC veteran who joined the bank in 1987.
