Deutsche Bank has announced that Jamal Al Kishi has been named as its CEO for Middle East and Africa (MEA).
Al Kishi replaces Kees Hoving, who is switching roles to become the chief country officer for the UAE.
Al Kishi returns to the same position at the bank after leaving to become CEO of Gulf International Bank four years ago.
Previously, Al Kishi held a number of senior positions at Deutsche Bank including chief country officer of Saudi Arabia.
The new CEO will report to Alexander von zur Muehlen and Berthold Fuerst, CEO for Asia Pacific, Europe, MEA and Germany and co-head of investment banking coverage for EMEA, respectively.
Von zur Muehlen says: “Jamal has the thorough knowledge of our full platform in MEA and the client connectivity throughout the region that will help us capture the significant potential here.”
Fuerst adds: “We are delighted to bring back high caliber talent like Jamal to strengthen our strategic focus on C-Suite advisory throughout MEA.”
