Can you give us a brief background of your education and profession?
I graduated from The Sultan’s School and continued my education from the University of Toronto. I specialised in political science and graduated in August 2011 and by late October-early November joined the National Bank of Oman in corporate banking. A year later I moved to project finance, stayed there for four years as a relationship manager and just over a year and a month ago in July 2016, I was asked to move to retail banking as an area manager.
Currently, I am the area manager within Sadara – National Bank of Oman’s private banking and wealth management division and I handle the Muscat and Sharqiya region. I have a team of 17 people working with me and we take care of the banking needs of ultrahigh networth individuals. This is my first job and it has been a fantastic experience. I owe a lot of what I am today to National Bank of Oman, the bank has been generous in providing me with all the requisite tools and resources for self-development. This is one of the reasons why I have moved to the private sector and banking in particular. The people that I work with are of a high caliber and this year’s NTI BizPro Awards selection process reflects the same as a majority of the semifinal nominees and from National Bank of Oman.
