“We are thrilled to have Chris as part of the HSBC team,” said Mark Steffensen, General Counsel, HSBC USA, to whom Rosello will report. “Chris brings great respect from his nearly two decades working in and around the federal government, and his experience in the legislative and executive branches as well as in the banking industry will serve us well as we engage Congress and the regulatory community.”
