Transition of Leadership at Bank Alfalah

Bank Alfalah has been in the process of transition of leadership for nearly a year now, ever since the founder, Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, took over the control of the bank as the Chairman replacing his younger brother Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan.

The bank’s CEO was changed four months later as Nouman Ansari, ex-CEO Faysal Bank, became the President and CEO in place of renowned banker Atif Bajwa.

The transition at the top level has trickled down to key management positions as well. The bank’s six key executives of the core management were asked to leave the bank or they parted ways with the bank some four months ago. These officials were considered to have a major role in leading the bank towards growth and success.

The bank’s CEO and his team members hunted and hired replacements for these key positions. There were many bankers who also quit or joined the bank at branch-level.

During the past one year, the bank has gone through a complete transition period. Now, it will be interesting to see how this new team will exhibit its performance in terms of profit growth and bank’s business operations.
