HSBC Creates New CIO Role
International bank HSBC has asked its North American chief information officer Andrew Armishaw to take on significantly more responsibilities.
Armishaw will continue to perform the traditional roles of a CIO, but the bank has asked him to also assume responsibility for operations—a relatively unusual twist for a CIO. His new title is Chief Technology and Services Officer.
In announcing the promotion HSBC says, "This position at HSBC was developed as part of a global initiative to create a common business framework for core support functions across the company." As such, Armishaw is responsible for ensuring HSBC's information technology and operations teams work closely together "to enchance the customer experience, create greater consistency in how HSBC operates, and improve economies of scale across businesses."
Armishaw will also take on responsibility for HSBC's security and fraud operations, corporate real estate and other operational functions for HSBC North America.
