I am a highly accomplished and results-driven banking professional with over 15 years of experience in global markets, SME banking, and personal banking solutions. My expertise lies in leveraging my deep understanding of financial markets, risk management, and financial structuring to drive innovation, profitability, and sustainable business growth. I have a track record of providing customized solutions across complex financial products such as foreign exchange, interest rate derivatives, commodities trading, and treasury management. Currently, I am serving as the Head of SME & Personal Banking Solutions - Global Markets Solutions at Commercial Bank of Dubai, where I lead key strategic initiatives to enhance revenue, drive market expansion, and optimize business operations. I am responsible for overseeing a diverse range of financial solutions, including foreign exchange, interest rate products, and treasury strategies, ensuring that they align with client goals and market dynamics. My leadership has been instrumental in building a high-performing team and establishing strong relationships with corporate clients, contributing to a significant increase in market share. My expertise in digital banking transformation allows me to drive innovation within traditional banking models, ensuring seamless digital integration that improves both internal operations and customer satisfaction. This focus on innovation, combined with my analytical mindset and strategic thinking, enables me to identify and capitalize on emerging market opportunities. I thrive on leading projects that involve enhancing financial products, improving risk management strategies, and integrating AI-driven insights into banking services. In addition to my extensive banking background, I am actively pursuing an MBA from Swiss Business School, expected to complete in September 2025, and have completed the Competing in the Age of AI - Executive Education program at Harvard Business School. This exposure to cutting-edge artificial intelligence and digital transformation strategies has equipped me with the knowledge to integrate AI technologies into financial decision-making, improving predictive analytics, enhancing operational efficiencies, and providing personalized solutions for clients. Having completed several high-level leadership programs, such as the Next Generation Leadership Program by Commercial Bank of Dubai and specialized certifications like the Credit Skills Program by Fitch, I continuously aim to refine my leadership abilities and stay ahead of industry trends. I believe in fostering a results-oriented culture that drives performance and achieves long-term financial success. With a robust combination of financial expertise, leadership skills, and a passion for innovation, I am now seeking to apply my experience in a senior executive role to contribute to an organization-s success by driving growth, market leadership, and digital transformation. I am committed to delivering strategic financial solutions that create value for clients, stakeholders, and the organization as a whole.
