The Bank of Singapore, one of Asia’s largest private banks, announced on Monday that it has made six new appointments in Dubai to enhance its advisory services and product solutions in the region.
Bank of Singapore, part of Singapore’s second-largest lender Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, said in a statement that Zeena Abou Elnaja had joined its team of investment advisors from Swiss bank Julius Baer.
The private bank added that Mehvish Ayub has joined State Street Global Advisors as a senior specialist covering managed and alternative solutions in the region.
Bank of Singapore also welcomed Brandon Chee as a product specialist covering equities and structured products advisory, and Anish Mehta as a product specialist on the foreign exchange or foreign exchange advisory desk.
She also appointed Yasmine Omari as head of wealth planning for the bank’s Dubai operations and Fatima Al Zadjali as director of marketing and communications.
-“These hires are critical for us from a strategic perspective as we continue to strengthen the presence of our Dubai hub in the region,” said Ranjit Khanna, Bank of Singapore’s head of private banking for Europe and the Middle East and Managing Director of Dubai, in the press release.
Reuters reported in August last year that Bank of Singapore aimed to expand its business in the Middle East by having the region contribute 20% of its overall revenue and private banking assets over the next three to five years, compared to around 10% previously.
