Business Profile

In January 2023 I was appointed CEO at BNF Bank p.l.c., joining the Bank’s Executive Committee. Through communication and trust, I will continue to steer the Bank on its growth journey, backed by a diligent and ambitious team. At BNF Bank we strive to make a positive difference in our communities, offering our personal and business clients highly personalised products and services, through a network of 12 retail branches spread across the Maltese Islands, as well as an international presence through its branch in London.

I began my career at Standard Bank of South Africa, where I spent 17 years holding several senior positions including Head of Priority Banking and the Offshore Banking Group. After this I served as Divisional Director for Private Banking at Nedbank, South Africa and then moved to Kuwait as the Deputy General Manager of Gulf Bank. I also held the positions of Group Chief Retail and Private Banking Officer for the National Bank of Oman and Head of Retail Banking for Commercial Bank International, Dubai. I was also the Group Chief Retail and Private Banking Officer of Kuwait Finance House, Kuwait and later, Chief Executive Officer of Kuwait Finance House, Malaysia.

I have worked in multiple jurisdictions, including South Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia and the UK, holding several executive positions with responsibility for a wide variety of functions including Retail, Commercial, Small Business, Private Banking, Wealth Management and Offshore Banking.

I am a graduate of the University of Cape Town, South Africa and have several post graduate diplomas. I have a CPIF (Chartered Professional in Islamic Finance), from CIFF Malaysia, an MDP from Ashridge, UK, a PIM from Henley, UK and an OWP from IMD Switzerland.
