HSBC CEO completes hat-trick on Women Role Model list

Friday 10 September 2021

Sue Fox, CEO of HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man, has been recognised for the third time in the HERoes Women Executives Role Model list.

A long-term champion for equality and inclusion in the workplace, Ms Fox has since 2018 been a Global Ambassador for HSBC Balance, a programme that promotes gender diversity across the firm.

She hosts regular ‘Ask Me Anything’ sessions for more than 1,000 staff. This year she hosted a virtual panel event for International Women’s Day, sharing her own experience of climbing the executive ladder in a male dominated sector.

Ms Fox is also the lead executive sponsor of HSBC’s Diversity and Inclusion Allies group, which works to cement an inclusive culture at the Bank. 

The HERoes 100 Women Executives List is part of INvolve’s global HERoes Women Role Model Lists, which showcase leaders around the world and across multiple industries who are championing women in business and driving change for gender diversity in the workplace.

“I’m naturally delighted to have been included on the HERoes 100 Women Executives list again,” said Ms Fox.

“As most of us increasingly recognise, the diversity of our teams and the broad skills and perspectives everyone brings are absolutely critical to the success and productivity of a business, and it’s so important that we keep diversity and inclusion at the heart of what we do. 

“I remain personally highly focused on helping to break down perceptions, addressing unconscious bias, and encouraging open conversations around all forms of diversity, and I’m so pleased that in my role at HSBC I have a platform to do that.”
