A message from Kevin Martin
|
Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival are an important time of the year for many of our colleagues around the world and millions of our customers. While this year will again be different, it’s a time to take stock and connect with families and loved ones in whatever way we can.
|
This year is the year of the Ox. In Chinese culture the Ox is a highly valued animal and associated with hard work, honesty and strength. All values we can admire.
|
You can watch our colleagues and their families reveal how they are celebrating Chinese New Year in this short video.
|
Wherever you are and whatever you do, I wish you and your families a prosperous and healthy Chinese Year of the Ox. Gong Xi Fa Cai.

‘Becoming’ by Michelle Obama. It was highly recommended by our teenage daughter hence it reminds me to be positive about the next generation.

I love Christopher Nolan movies. I find the intellectual nature of his work very intriguing. ‘Memento’ is one of my favourites.
|
|
|
|
We enjoyed watching ‘Suits’ with our daughter who wants to study law. Whilst quite entertaining it also gives some good examples of wrongdoings to learn from.
|
|
|
|
|
I like the FT News Briefings, short and relevant. And more recently I started ‘The Alarmist’ series which are very informative but also funny.
|

|
Stephen M.R. Covey: “We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour”. Really helpful to remember especially when one is frustrated!
|
|
|
|
|
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of Republic of Turkey. I am genuinely inspired by his game-changing leadership with unconditional altruism.
|
|
|
|
I feel a deep sense of responsibility to play my part in future proofing HSBC. My current role gives me a great opportunity to deliver on the ambition.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PRIORITY IN LIFE?

My wife and my daughter. They are my inspiration for all I do in life; particularly for trying hard to make a positive impact to the people around me.
