HSBC Holdings has made history by appointing Pam Kaur as its first female Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective January 1, 2025. Kaur, a 60-year-old British Indian veteran in the financial sector, succeeds Georges Elhedery, who became CEO earlier this year.

This landmark appointment marks a significant milestone in HSBC’s 160-year history. Kaur brings extensive experience, having spent nearly 12 years at HSBC in senior roles, including Group Chief Risk and Compliance Officer.

A distinguished alumna of Panjab University, Kaur holds an MBA in Finance and is a qualified Chartered Accountant. Her expertise and leadership will shape HSBC’s financial strategy.

In addition to Kaur’s appointment, HSBC announced plans to streamline its operations into four business units, enhancing efficiency and agility.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
