Mission and Vision:

“Since joining HSBC in the early 2000s, the vast potential for banking was very clear. I moved from Global Banking and Markets, into Trading, and then went out on my own in my early 20s. HSBC was the largest bank in the world, at that time, with more than 135 million customers in 89 countries – and it was a hard business to leave.

Since then, my focuss has been on builiding teams and platforms that can deliver on key goals and opportunities at the right time, building technical expertise over long periods. Capacity that now includes National Payment systems for Central Banks, some of the largest consumer-facing financial service products and platforms in the Market, and deals within the industry, such as SWIFTIBM, and VISA/PayPal, Verifone, and Digicel – just for our work in the Pacific over the past 5 years.

Where to from here? The answer is as determined as we have always been – it is to grow what we know, into global best-practice; and to deepen our coverage and services to more people, world wide. What was begun in the Pacific, has global legs, and the scale to deliver.”
