Mazen Barbir — CEO
Disclaimer: This is a personal forum. I do not discuss or connect on matters related to my employer. Pls use official bank channels for that. Views/ideas/opinions are my own. With over two decades of experience as a trader, executive, and board member, I seek to help others fulfill their true potential. I offer a proven track record of transformative results, handling complex projects with diligence and innovation at the forefront of everything I do. Decision-making based on often fragmentary information is my key area of expertise. As a trader, it is imperative to respond to changes dynamically in an ever-changing marketplace. This is a complex process, where it is necessary to balance the short and the long-term, internal and external stakeholders – all while generating revenue and managing risk. The ability to find solutions and support others is bolstered by my wide-ranging interests and appreciation of learning and education. I provide insight and advice on various topics on social media including personal finances, investments, career development, and employment. I have sat on boards, consulted and invested in various organizations, and made many appearances and commentaries on internationally known business channels, including Reuters, CNN, MBC, and Al Arabiya. I received my MBA in Finance (2007) from the University of Ottawa, completed my Masters in Research from Durham University (2021), have given lectures at the Higher Colleges of Technology, Dubai, teaching investments and derivatives. So whether as an executive or an academic, my ultimate vision is to pass on my knowledge and insight and help others to optimize their chances of success, helping them to avoid mistakes and achieve their full potential.
