HSBC hires Goldman banker to lead financial institutions group

Peter Enns most recently was chairman and chief executive for Goldman Sachs in Canada and held posts in Asia and the US

HSBC has hired long-time Goldman Sachs banker Peter Enns as the global head of its financial institutions group, a senior hire for the bank six weeks after a group claiming to comprise employees complained to the bank’s board about a struggle to attract talent.

Enns was most recently the chairman and chief executive of Goldman in Canada and held posts in Asia and the US over 21 years at the bank. He retired from Goldman in spring 2017. He will start at HSBC in the newly created role in late October.
