Global Head of Customer Strategy and Insight, HSBC Marketing

Nikki Boore, Marketing Committee

I have worked within Financial Services for over 30 years starting out at American Express and then HSBC across many business lines both within Commercial and Retail space.

I have mentored many people over the years and I am passionate about helping people to develop and recognise the talents that they already have and how to make the best of them, as well as passing on my own experiences and learns over the years. As a woman and also a parent I find I am often approached to share my experience and knowledge on how to navigate and balance being a parent whilst holding a senior position and I am always happy to share my experience and tips!

I am also passionate about Inspiring the Future and helping young people prepare for the future.

I have been married for 22 years and live on the South Coast and have a son who has a passion for boxing and with that and his football, that’s where a lot of spare time is focused. I always find time to fit in the gym and swimming which is my thinking and calm time.

What career advice would you go back and tell 20-year-old you if you could? 

I would tell my work self, try everything, no decision is a wrong decision, it’s all about learning, gaining experience and understanding what makes you tick. You will eventually find your path, don’t waste time and energy trying to be great at everything, be the very best that you can be, in areas that you are already good at.
