HSBC Holdings Plc is considering appointing its first female finance director in its 159-year history, with Pam Kaur emerging as a leading candidate among several senior executives for one of the top jobs in global banking.
Chief Risk and Compliance Officer Kaur, 60, is said to be a favorite for the chief financial officer role that became vacant after Georges Elhedery replaced Noel Quinn on Sept. 2 as chief executive officer of Europe’s largest lender, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
