Al Hilal Bank, a Sharia-compliant Abu Dhabi-based lender, said it had appointed Alex Coelho as its new chief executive officer.
Mr Coelho, a veteran banker with two decades of experience, has been mandated to boost the bank’s business in both the UAE and Kazakhstan.
“We are witnessing an overall global macro-economic change impacting all industries and staying ahead of the game within the financial industry requires a team of talented, committed and creative professionals,” said Mr Coelho, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Campinas in Brazil.
