HSBC Speeds Up Search for New Chairman After Tucker's Exit
HSBC, a big bank, is looking for a new boss because the current one is leaving soon.
They need to find someone quickly!
The bank's current chairman is going to work for another company in September.
The person in charge of finding the new chairman is looking at some people who are already well-known in the business world.
The new boss will need to know a lot about Asia and wealth management.
This is because HSBC is expanding in those areas.
The new leader will also have to be good at dealing with different countries because of the relationship between the US and China.

Tucker will leave HSBC in September to become a non-executive chairman at AIA Group Ltd.
Ann Godbehere, the senior independent director, is leading the search for Tucker's replacement.
