The global professional services firm describes itself as a "challenger" in the market and has hired several senior directors from rivals as it targets tax and M&A advice.

These all call for a new approach to solutions, technology and partnerships.

When corporate treasurers face market volatility, HSBC&#8217;s Rahul Badhwar explains how the bank&#8217;s HSBC AI Markets platform, which uses natural language processing and machine learning, is helping clients cut through complexity, manage risk, and focus more time on strategic decision-making.
