About

Currently serving as the Group Chief Executive Officer at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), one of the largest Islamic financial institutions, I bring over 28 years of experience in the financial sector. As a CFA Charterholder, I lead ADIB’s mission to drive innovation, financial strength, and responsible growth, while advancing its Vision 2035. My expertise in Islamic finance and banking enables me to guide strategic initiatives that align with the UAE’s goal of being a global hub for ethical and sustainable banking. Since my appointment as Group CEO in October 2024, I have focused on fostering customer-centric growth, enhancing digital and AI leadership, and ensuring financial efficiency and resilience. In collaboration with my team, we continue to deepen ADIB’s digital capabilities, strengthen its capital base, and invest in next-generation technologies to optimize customer experiences. Our shared commitment to talent empowerment, Emiratization, and ESG leadership ensures that ADIB remains at the forefront of the Islamic finance and banking industry.
