HSBC Bank Malta plc has announced that Michel Cordina will step down from his role as Executive Director, effective 10th December (today).
Mr Cordina concludes a six-year tenure on the Board, bringing an end to a distinguished career at the bank spanning over four decades.
In a statement, the Board of Directors expressed its gratitude to Mr Cordina for his “valuable insight and positive contribution to the Board.” The bank added that his replacement will be announced “at the appropriate time.”
Mr Cordina’s banking career began in 1981 with Mid-Med Bank Limited before it was bought out by HSBC in 1999.
Over the years, he has contributed extensively to both Personal and Commercial Banking divisions, as well as to various operational and support functions of the bank.
He held numerous executive roles within HSBC Malta, including Deputy Head of Operations, Head of Business Transformation, and Head of Commercial Banking. Notably, he served as Programme Manager for the establishment of the HSBC UK Contact Centre in Malta, which closed down earlier this year.
In 2010, Mr Cordina was seconded to HSBC Commercial Banking in London, where he held the role of Head of Sales Performance.
'This year, we want to return to where it all started.'
He has held various senior leadership positions within the technology and gaming sectors.
Ivan Refalo also adds that another challenge faced by local employers is the increase of mental-health issues among their employees.
The company has announced the appointment of two new international partners.
