HSBC USA has permanently appointed Jason Henderson as U.S. President and Chief Executive Officer, effective 9 December 2025, according to a Form 8-K filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The confirmation ends an interim arrangement that had been in place since August 2025.
Henderson stepped into the acting role following the departure of Lisa McGeough, who left HSBC USA to join Deutsche Bank earlier in the year.
LEADERSHIP SPANNING THREE MARKETS
Henderson brings what the bank described as extensive leadership experience across HSBC's businesses in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
HSBC USA operates as the primary retail and commercial banking arm of the HSBC Group in the United States. The U.S. business has undergone restructuring in recent years, with the group having divested a large portion of its domestic retail branch network. The remaining business is focused on wealth management, international banking, and serving multinational corporate clients who require connectivity between the Americas and HSBC's larger operations in Asia and the Middle East.
The SEC Form 8-K, which SEC registrants are required to file for material corporate events, confirms the effective date of Henderson's appointment as 9 December 2025.
DISCLOSURE
The bank has not disclosed the duration of his new contract or the financial terms.
HSBC USA has not announced any further structural changes to its senior leadership team alongside the Henderson appointment.
