Adam Bagshaw

Adam Bagshaw serves as Global Head of Investment Banking at HSBC, a role that encompasses leadership of the bank's Capital Markets and Advisory (CMA) business. In this position, he oversees the bank's restructured investment banking operations as part of HSBC's strategic pivot to focus on M&A and equity capital market capabilities in Asia and the Middle East.

Bagshaw leads a restructured CMA business with three pillars: financing solutions (debt capital markets, which is global), corporate finance (sector bankers focused on Asia and the Middle East), and strategic advisory (M&A and ECM, focused on Asia and the Middle East). This reorganization reflects HSBC's broader strategic repositioning, where the bank has scaled back its worldwide operations to focus more on M&A and equity capital market capabilities in Asia and the Middle East.
