HSBC's leadership crisis deepens as Mark Tucker's unexpected departure leaves the bank without a permanent successor. The interim appointment of Brendan Nelson starting October 1 fails to quell concerns about stability, with UK regulators pressuring for a swift resolution. Tucker's 2017 appointment broke 152 years of tradition as HSBC's first external chair.

The vacuum at the top comes at a delicate time for global financial institutions. "You can't have an interim chair for very long. It's a stick of dynamite underneath everyone," remarked one insider. MWM Consulting now leads the search for candidates who can navigate both regulatory expectations and market pressures.
