Commercialbank has announced the promotion of more than 130 staffers, who have “shown the potential to be rising stars within the organisation,” with immediate effect.
The career progression of these employees has been accelerated through various proprietary training programmes offered by the bank, which are designed to support the highest potential leaders.
Ten senior leaders have also been promoted. They are Rana A A Salatt (senior AGM and head of risk controls), Dr Abdulaziz AM al-Ghorairi (chief economist), Bouchra AM Sebbata (AGM and head of Sadara Wealth Management), Omran YMH al-Sherawi (head of project management office), Mohamed SAS Abushaikha (vice-president, private banking), Omar AM SH al-Emadi (unit head, public sector relations, wholesale banking), Jassim MI al-Majid (head of government approvals and general services), Tahir Ali (head of direct sales, retail banking), Farid Abou Aker (branch manager, Wakrah) and Binu Gafoor (unit head, corporate banking).
A key priority for Commercialbank has been investing in human capital and developing talent in all areas.
Through the launch of the Accelerated Leadership and Future Leaders programmes, which are conducted in conjunction with some of the world’s leading universities and business schools, including Judge Business School (Cambridge), London Business School, HEC (Paris), The Centre for Creative Leadership (Brussels) and INSEAD (Paris), Commercialbank has been able to empower high-potential staff with further knowledge and expertise in their line of work, and give them the opportunity to take their leadership skills to the next level in their career.
Andrew Stevens, Group CEO of Commercialbank, said: “All the promotions are well deserved as these are hard-working and talented leaders who play an integral part in the bank’s success. We are proud to be able to give them the appropriate training and development to enable them to advance even further in their careers. We will continue to invest in developing young talent and recognise staff achievements based on meritocracy.”
