Bill Evans

Most recently William (Bill) Evans served as Regional Head of CTS Americas for Commerzbank. Bill was responsible in both New York and Brazil for all sales activities within the regional Trade Finance and Cash Management units. His mandate had a clear focus on revenue growth with existing as well as new customers, and expanding the footprint in the region while managing risk and costs. Bill has in-depth experience originating significant Transaction Banking business opportunities across Asia and Europe with North American clients. Before joining Commerzbank, he served as HSBC’s Head of Sales for Global Trade and Receivable Finance (GTRF) for the United States. Bill was responsible for leading the strategic growth of their GTRF business, including: Global and Commercial Banking, Commodities, Institutional Subsidiary Banking and Financial Institutions sectors. Prior to his time at HSBC, Bill joined ANZ as Head of Transaction Banking and Structured Trade Finance for the Americas. His goal was to build out ANZ’s Transaction Banking and Structured Trade business. This directive was twofold, first to build a meaningful business in the Americas and finally drive client opportunities into the company’s global footprint across Europe and AsiaPac. We are pleased that Bill’s extensive international experience makes him a strong fit for this strategic role.
