Qatar First Bank (QFB) has appointed Sulaiman Yousif al-Salhi (pictured) as chief business officer.
Sulaiman will be responsible for overseeing all commercial banking activities including business development, client operations and building strategic partnerships for QFB, the first independent Shariah-compliant bank authorised by the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority.
Prior to this, he served as managing director and senior executive officer at Bank Sarasin-Alpen (Qatar), where he led the private banking team and successfully managed the bank through its critical start-up phase in Qatar.
Sulaiman’s success is built upon two decades of experience at HSBC Middle East, during which he progressed from branch manager to head of HSBC-Amanah Islamic finance.
QFB has authorised capital of QR2bn and paid up capital of QR1.7bn, providing the financial strength to capitalise on lucrative investments.
