HSBC hires Mohamed Yangui as global equities structuring chief after crypto detour

Mohamed Yangui has returned to traditional banking as HSBC’s new global head of equities structuring. Based in London, he brings decades of experience from major financial institutions like PNC Bank and Yahoo Finance. His latest role follows a brief stint in the crypto sector.

Yangui began his career in London at Credit Lyonnais, having previously worked at Banque Indosuez. He later held positions at Lehman Brothers and Barclays before joining US Bank in 2010. There, he spent eight years as a Managing Director, leading the equity derivatives structuring team.

His departure from US Bank in October 2018 was not by choice but resulted from post-Brexit layoffs. After leaving, he shifted to the crypto industry, working at Trakx from April 2022. The platform specialises in index trading for digital assets.

Now, Yangui returns to banking with HSBC, taking on a senior role in equities structuring. His appointment marks a move back to the financial sector after nearly two years in crypto.

Yangui’s return to HSBC strengthens the bank’s equities structuring division with his long-standing expertise. His career spans traditional banking, derivatives, and crypto, reflecting a diverse professional background. The London-based position aligns with his earlier experience in the city’s financial sector.
