The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) officially welcomed its new Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), Usman Ahmed, following an initial transition period led by former GCEO, Jean-Christophe Durand. 

 

Both executives were present at the bank’s End of Year event, held in December, where Ahmed officially addressed the staff members and took it as an opportunity to socialise with them. 

 

During the event, Farouk Yousuf Almoayyed, Chairman of NBB, thanked Durand for his years of service to NBB, while also receiving the new GCEO as the bank transitions into a new executive management period.

 

Diverse global expertise

Almoayyed said: “We are pleased to welcome Usman Ahmed as the new GCEO. His years of diverse global expertise will act as a catalyst to the Group’s future development and advancements. We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Jean-Christophe Durand, for his significant contributions to NBB over the past 6 years, which have set the bank on a trajectory of excellence and further positioned us as the national bank of choice in the kingdom. We are confident that the organisation will witness a thriving future under Usman, and wish him all the best in his new position.”-- TradeArabia News Service
